• Support the Finance Director and accounts team as required.
• Assist with general finance and administrative duties as required.

About You:

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a similar purchase ledger or Accounts Payable role.
• Confident working across various IT systems (experience with Zahara and AutoEntry would be an advantage, but training will be provided).
• Excellent attention to detail, with a focus on checking accuracy before processing.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work to time-critical deadlines.
• Good communication skills and a team-focused attitude.
• Understanding of the wider finance function and how purchase ledger activity supports the business.

What We Offer:

• A supportive, close-knit team environment.
• Training on internal systems.
• Varied and interesting workload across two growing businesses.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Free on-site parking.
