Love getting the numbers right? Enjoy solving a query and keeping everything running smoothly? This could be your next move.

We’re recruiting a Purchase Ledger Clerk to join a Bury-based business. If you’re organised, confident with invoices and payments, and take pride in keeping supplier accounts in good order, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

  • Allocating payments and keeping the accounting system up to date.
  • Working with suppliers and colleagues to resolve invoice and payment queries.
  • Managing employee expenses and company credit card reconciliations.
  • Supporting month-end processes and year-end audits.
  • Helping the wider finance team with day-to-day administration.

You might already be a Purchase Ledger Clerk or Accounts Payable Assistant, or have finance administration experience and be ready for your next step.

We’re looking for:

  • Previous experience processing invoices and payments.
  • A sharp eye for detail and a confident approach to numbers.
  • Good Excel skills and familiarity with Microsoft Office.
  • An understanding of basic accounting principles.
  • The ability to prioritise, meet deadlines and manage your own workload.
  • A friendly, professional approach when dealing with suppliers and colleagues.

Knowledge of CIS and VAT Domestic Reverse Charge would be a bonus, but isn’t essential.

  • £27,000–£30,000 salary, depending on experience.
  • 24 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with service.
  • Private healthcare.
