Job Description

Are you a Purchase Ledger Clerk with a minimum of 2 years experience in a similar role?
Do you live in North Manchester / Tameside?

And would you like to work for an award winning business working in the design & engineering sectors with a range of high profile, global retail, hospitality and leisure clients? But in a small, friendly team where you can develop your skills in a great environment?

My client is a privately owned design, engineering and maintenance business that has been established for many years. A market leader in their field across the UK, they have won multiple awards for their designs, quality and customer service.

The business has grown steadily over the last 5 years due to repeat business and recommendation (it supported its staff through Covid, topping up furlough and making zero redundancies) and the growth in revenue has shown up the need for a new person to join the team in a Purchase Ledger role.

Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will be responsible for all aspects of Purchase Ledger from PO to payment preparation including:-

• Dealing with a range of long standing suppliers where invoices can range from £5 to £'0,000s
• Mainly UK suppliers, but some exposure to invoices from overseas (particularly €)
• Supplier statement reconciliations
• Query resolution - with suppliers and internal colleagues
• Supplier VAT reconciliation
• Payment forecasting

You may not have experience in all of the above duties, but if you are someone who takes a pride in their work, has strong PL experience and is keen to be a member of a friendly, well-established team, let us know.

It is thought a minimum of 2 years experience would be required. You must also be a good communicator, able to prioritise & manage your work flow, and comfortable being predominantly office based while you learn the systems & processes (although hybrid working is available once you have settled in).

Experience of a larger accounting systems such as Sage 200/ 300 would be an advantage; being a decent person is essential!!
