• Preparing supplier payment runs and ensuring payments are made within agreed terms.
• Reconciling supplier statements and investigating discrepancies.
• Responding to supplier queries professionally and efficiently.
• Managing employee expenses and credit card transactions where required.
• Assisting with month-end processes, including accruals and prepayments.
• Supporting VAT reporting and ensuring invoices meet relevant VAT requirements.
• Assisting with reconciliations and resolving outstanding items.
• Working closely with other departments to resolve invoice and payment queries.
• Maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring processes are followed.
• Providing support to the wider finance team during busy periods, audits and year-end.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in getting things right and enjoys being part of a team.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience in a purchase ledger, accounts payable or finance role.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach.
• Good numerical and organisational skills.
• Experience using accounting software and Microsoft Excel.
• The ability to manage deadlines and prioritise a busy workload.
• Confident communication skills when dealing with suppliers and colleagues.
• A proactive approach to resolving queries and discrepancies.
• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to the wider finance team.
• A professional and confidential approach to financial information.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary.
• Monday to Friday working hours.
• Company pension scheme.
• Annual leave entitlement.
• Health & wellbeing programme.
• Life insurance.
• A friendly and supportive working environment.
