We are seeking an organised and detail-focused Purchase Ledger Clerk to join our busy Finance team. This role offers the opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment where accuracy and efficiency are key.
In this role, you will be responsible for processing incoming purchase order invoices, matching and coding them to receipts in the ERP system to ensure timely and accurate payments. You will also be required to identify, investigate and resolve invoice queries, as well as verify vendor accounts by reconciling monthly statements and related transactions. Supporting weekly and monthly payment runs, including both manual (wire) and automated (EFT) payments, will also form part of your responsibilities.
You will maintain vendor accounts to ensure supplier details are accurate and up to date, complete documentation to support credit applications and coordinate direct debit mandates with the bank. The role also involves assisting with weekly bank statement reconciliations and supporting the Accounts Receivable function by issuing sales invoices to customers. In addition, you will manage non-PO invoices through the authorisation system and export them for payment, while contributing to the development and upgrade of finance and IT systems. Flexibility is key, as you will also be expected to provide support across the wider Finance team with other duties as required.
To be successful in this role, you will ideally have previous experience in a purchase ledger or accounts payable position, with strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills. You must be able to work to deadlines in a busy environment and possess good communication skills for liaising with suppliers and colleagues. Proficiency with ERP or finance systems would be an advantage, although full training will be provided.
In return, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, a supportive team environment, and opportunities for professional growth and development.
