A well-established business in Leeds is looking for an experienced Administrator to join its team on a 12-month maternity cover contract.

This is a busy and varied role supporting the wider finance function with customer account administration, payment processing, reconciliations and general accounts receivable support.

* Checking documentation and following up on missing information

* Liaising with internal teams to resolve account queries

* Supporting payment allocation and banking processes

* Investigating and clearing unallocated cash

* Assisting with month-end reconciliations

* Managing shared inboxes and responding to finance-related queries

* Providing general administrative support to the wider finance team

The ideal candidate will have:

* Previous experience in accounts receivable, credit control, sales ledger or finance administration

* Strong attention to detail and accuracy

* Good Excel skills

* Experience using a large finance system, ideally SAP or similar

* Confidence communicating with internal teams by phone and email

* The ability to manage a busy workload and follow tasks through to completion

* A proactive, reliable and team-focused approach
