Got the Purchase Ledger experience but feel ready to take on a bit more?

If you’ve been working in Purchase Ledger for a while and feel like you’re ready to get involved in more than your usual day-to-day tasks, this could be worth a look.

We’re working with a group of companies looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their small finance team. You’ll work closely with the Finance Controller, gain exposure to different areas of the business and have the opportunity to get more involved in month-end and year-end.

There’s even the potential to develop towards Management Accounting further down the line!

What you’ll be doing

• Working closely with the Finance Controller as part of a small finance team
• Managing Purchase Ledger responsibilities and supplier payments
• Handling reconciliations and working with debits and credits
• Building relationships with internal teams, including Merchandisers and Buyers, as well as external suppliers
• Getting involved in month-end and year-end processes as you develop in the role
• Managing different priorities and speaking up when you need support

What we’re looking for

• At least 2 years’ Purchase Ledger experience
• Strong Excel skills (there’ll be a short Excel task during the interview process)
• A good understanding of debits, credits and reconciliations
• Experience processing supplier payments
• Knowledge of part payments would be useful, but isn’t essential
• An understanding of month-end and a willingness to take on more responsibility across month-end and year-end
• Someone who’s organised, confident communicating with others and happy to get stuck in

What’s in it for you?

• Salary of approximately £28,000–£32,000, depending on experience
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• Flexible start and finish times
• On-site parking and modern office facilities
• Staff discounts across the group
• A range of additional health and lifestyle benefits
• Potential to develop your career towards Management Accounting

Feel like you’re ready for that next step?
