Accounts Assistant - Purchase Ledger

This role involves processing a high volume of supplier invoices using Yooz, ensuring each invoice is accurately coded to the general ledger and matched to the appropriate purchase order, demonstrating a strong commitment to quality and attention to detail. Acting as a first point of contact for supplier queries by phone and email, the role requires professional and solution-focused communication, particularly when dealing with payment queries or disputed invoices.

Regular reconciliation of supplier statements against the internal ledger is a key part of the role, with discrepancies investigated promptly and thoroughly to support the smooth running and success of the business. Working collaboratively with colleagues across finance and the wider organisation, support is provided on weekly supplier payment runs to ensure payments are made accurately and on time.

Responsibility also includes creating and maintaining supplier master records, verifying bank details carefully and with integrity to help prevent fraud. Processing staff expense claims in line with the company’s travel and subsistence policy forms part of the role, alongside supporting the senior finance team with month-end activities and other tasks as required.

Experience of working with accounting software such as Sage Intacct or Yooz would be advantageous. A strong eye for detail and pride in producing high-quality work are essential, particularly when handling financial data and reconciling supplier statements.

Clear communication skills are required to build positive working relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders and to contribute effectively to a collaborative team environment. A genuine curiosity and willingness to learn are important, alongside the confidence to ask questions when something is unclear and to develop a strong understanding of finance processes.

The role also requires someone who is open to sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues and contributing to collective team success. Good organisational skills and a structured approach to work are important, enabling deadlines to be met and commitments to be honoured.

A high level of integrity is expected, with a clear understanding of the importance of confidentiality, accuracy and ethical behaviour in a finance role, together with the flexibility to adapt as priorities and business needs change.

A hybrid working arrangement is available, with one day per week in the office and the remainder of the week working remotely once training has been completed. We're looking for someone to work part-time - 30 hours across five working days.

You will have the opportunity to work across multiple companies within the group and will join a supportive and collaborative finance team. The role offers exposure to a broad range of finance activities, opportunities to develop your skills and knowledge, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to the success of the business while working in line with our values of collaboration, quality, success, integrity and respect.
