Purchase Ledger Controller -Trent Hybrid

A successful company is looking for an organised and personable Purchase Ledger Controller to join its finance team. Please note this role is hybrid - you'll work from home 2 days per week with 3 days in the office.

Working as part of the finance function, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day management of the purchase ledger, processing supplier invoices and payments accurately and efficiently. You'll maintain accurate records, reconcile supplier statements, investigate and resolve discrepancies, and liaise with suppliers to deal with queries and build positive working relationships.

You'll also prepare and process supplier payment runs, ensuring payments are made in line with agreed terms, while working closely with colleagues across the business to resolve invoice, purchase order and payment queries. In addition, you'll support month-end activities, including reconciliations and reporting, and ensure financial records are maintained to support effective financial controls and audit requirements.

This is a role where attention to detail really matters, so you'll need to be organised, numerate and comfortable managing your own workload in a busy finance environment. You'll have previous experience in purchase ledger, accounts payable or a similar finance role, ideally at Purchase Ledger Controller or Accounts Payable Controller level. You'll have a good understanding of supplier invoice processing, supplier reconciliations and payment runs, together with good Excel skills and experience using an accounting or ERP system.

You'll be a proactive and friendly finance professional who takes pride in getting things right and is confident investigating discrepancies and resolving supplier queries. You'll also be comfortable working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business and managing competing priorities effectively.

This is a great opportunity for a finance professional with solid purchase ledger or accounts payable experience to take ownership of an important area of the finance function, contribute to process improvements and play a key role in ensuring the smooth running of the company's financial operations.
