We’re supporting an established business within the manufacturing sector who are looking to appoint a Purchase Ledger Assistant to join their finance team on a part-time (24-30 hours per week), permanent basis. This is a hands-on role taking ownership of the purchase ledger function within a busy, fast-paced environment. You’ll be responsible for processing and posting supplier invoices, ensuring accuracy between PO systems and Xero, and carrying out full invoice matching, batching and coding. You’ll also manage supplier statement reconciliations, investigate and resolve discrepancies, and prepare payment runs in line with internal processes. In addition, you’ll deal with supplier queries, maintain strong working relationships, and ensure all purchase ledger records are accurate and up to date. You’ll support month-end processes and provide wider assistance across the finance function where required. I am looking to speak to people with previous experience within a purchase ledger or accounts payable role, ideally within an SME and manufacturing environment. Experience using Xero would be beneficial but is not essential. You’ll be highly organised with excellent attention to detail, confident using Excel and general finance systems, and comfortable communicating with suppliers and internal stakeholders. Excellent softer benefits are also on offer here including private medical and dental insurance amongst others - get in touch for a confidential conversation if you are interested!
