Reconciling supplier statements. Resolving PO discrepancies with the buying team. Processing company credit cards. Responding to queries through the finance inbox. Supporting the finance team with month-end preparation. Helping with general office administration when required. What's in it for you: 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays. No weekend working. Training and development opportunities. The chance to broaden your finance experience within a growing business. A small, supportive team where your contribution will be valued. What you'll need: Around 12 months' experience in purchase ledger, accounts payable or a similar finance role. Strong attention to detail and good financial accuracy. Confidence to ask questions and challenge discrepancies when necessary. Good communication skills when dealing with colleagues and suppliers.
