Your new company
Hays Accountancy & Finance have partnered with a business near Bury St Edmunds that is part of a global organisation. They are looking to strengthen their finance team by recruiting a new person responsible for sales invoicing and high-volume, complex purchase ledger processing across the business.

Your new role
You will be confident in raising sales invoices to ensure swift payment for goods & services. Accurate data collection from operational teams is essential to reduce late payments and improve cash flow. Working closely with the wider finance team, you will support them with sales invoice queries and early stages of credit control. As a key member of the transactional finance team, you will input and analyze purchase invoices used to re-charge costs to the end customer as sales invoices, which requires experience or understanding of trial balances. At month-end, you will assist in preparing management accounts when required; experience in collating financial data is a bonus. The core duties involve transactional finance across ledgers, ensuring smooth invoicing and problem-free credit collections.

What you'll need to succeed
You should be confident with Excel to process and analyze sales and purchase ledgers, aware of potential overdue accounts, and able to investigate and resolve invoice issues. Additional duties include assisting with month-end close. This role suits an experienced bookkeeper who understands day-to-day ledger management and is comfortable supporting the wider finance team with invoicing, expense claims, and processing costs re-charged to create sales invoices and income.

What you'll get in return
The organization offers flexible hybrid working of 3 days in the office and 2 at home, 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays, a 40-hour working week, and a salary of circa £30,000.
