• Reviewing statements and proactively chasing missing invoices

• Maintaining accurate supplier records and payment terms

• Supporting month-end reporting and year-end audit requirements

• Running purchase ledger reports and highlighting potential issues

• You’ll work closely with the wider finance and operations teams, building strong internal and external relationships.

• Experience in a Purchase Ledger / Accounts Payable role

• Strong reconciliation skills

• Excellent attention to detail

• Good Excel and finance system knowledge
