Purchase Ledger Clerk - Paul Card Recruitment Ltd : Job Details

If you know your way around a purchase order and understand that a single wrong code can throw everything off, and you take pride in making sure that never happens, you'll probably feel right at home here.

This isn't just about data entry. It's about keeping the wheels turning smoothly, making sure suppliers get paid on time, and ensuring every penny is in the right place. You'll be the sort of person who spots an error before anyone else does, and gets a quiet satisfaction from fixing it.

You'll be joining an award-winning business that's growing, which means there's scope for personal development and the chance to take on more responsibility over time. You'll also have the opportunity to work closely with and support the Financial Controller, giving you exposure to a wider range of finance tasks than you might get elsewhere.

This is an office-based role, so you'll be part of a small, friendly finance team every day, working closely with purchasing and quantity surveying colleagues. That means variety, yes, you'll be deep in purchase orders and payment runs, but you'll also pitch in with general office duties like answering calls and welcoming visitors. It's a role for someone who enjoys being part of a team where everyone mucks in.

What you'll be doing:

• Processing supplier invoices and credit notes, matching them with POs, delivery notes and any other paperwork.
• Working with the QS team to process subcontractor invoices and organise payment runs.
• Sorting out any PO discrepancies, speaking to buyers, site staff and suppliers to get things right.
• Reconciling supplier statements every month.
• Preparing and allocating supplier payments.
• Sending remittance advices and responding to accounts queries.
• Processing credit card transactions and staff expenses.
• Helping out with financial reports when needed.

What's in it for you:

• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, and no weekend working.
• Flexible start and finish times
• A role where variety is part of the job description.
• The chance to be part of a small, supportive team where your work is noticed and appreciated.
• Personal development opportunities in a growing, award-winning company.

What you'll need:

• Experience in high-volume processing
• Confident communicating with suppliers and site staff by phone and email.
• Good IT skills, especially Excel; Sage 50 experience is handy but not essential.
• Accuracy and attention to detail, because small mistakes can cause big headaches.
• A team-first attitude, willing to help colleagues out when needed.
