Job description

NXTGEN Recruitment is supporting a well-established and successful business in Great Yarmouth with the appointment of an experienced Purchase Ledger professional on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

Joining a supportive finance team, you will take ownership of the day-to-day purchase ledger and ensure supplier accounts are processed accurately and efficiently. The business operates across both UK and international markets, giving the role additional variety through foreign payments and a broad supplier base.

The role

Your responsibilities will include:

Processing purchase invoices and matching them against purchase orders
Creating and maintaining accurate supplier records
Reconciling supplier statements and investigating discrepancies
Preparing monthly supplier payment runs
Processing weekly international and foreign-currency payments
Allocating payments against supplier accounts
Managing staff expenses, company credit cards and petty cash
Processing credit notes, returns and proforma payments
Responding to supplier queries and resolving issues promptly
Working with teams across the business to improve the flow of financial information
Supporting the wider finance team when required

What we're looking for

This position would suit someone who has:

Previous Purchase Ledger or Accounts Payable experience
Experience completing supplier reconciliations and payment runs
Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
Good Excel skills
Experience using an integrated finance or accounting system
AAT studies or equivalent practical accounting experience
The ability to organise and prioritise a varied workload
A proactive and confident approach to resolving queries

The opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity to join a stable and reputable organisation where you will have clear ownership of the purchase ledger rather than focusing solely on invoice processing. You will work with a varied supplier base and gain exposure to international transactions within a friendly and experienced finance function.
