As our business continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced and organised Accounts Clerk to join our team and take responsibility for the day-to-day running of our accounts function.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently, takes ownership of their responsibilities and is looking for a flexible, long-term role within a supportive business.

The Role

You'll be responsible for managing our sales and purchase ledgers, maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring our day-to-day accounting processes run smoothly.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Sales Ledger

• Raising customer invoices, credit notes and proforma invoices.


• Processing customer payments and posting journals.


• Maintaining accurate customer account records.


• Managing account applications and approvals.

Purchase Ledger

• Processing and reconciling supplier invoices.


• Preparing and recording supplier payments.


• Posting cashbook transactions and journals.


• Investigating and resolving supplier account queries.

Credit Control & Financial Administration

• Managing credit control, including issuing statements and payment reminders.


• Contacting customers by telephone and email to follow up on overdue payments.


• Completing regular bank reconciliations.


• Producing monthly debtor reports and assisting with month-end procedures.


• Identifying and escalating financial discrepancies or queries where necessary.


• Working with our bespoke accounting system to maintain accurate financial records.

About You

We're looking for someone who is confident in their accounting abilities, has excellent attention to detail and can manage their workload with minimal supervision.

Ideally, you'll have:

• A minimum of two years' experience in a similar accounts or bookkeeping role.


• Previous experience managing both sales and purchase ledgers.


• A good understanding of credit control and bank reconciliation.


• Strong IT skills, particularly Microsoft Excel.


• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to prioritise tasks.


• Confident communication skills, both over the telephone and via email.


• A proactive approach to problem-solving and a willingness to take ownership of your work.


• A friendly, positive attitude and the ability to work well as part of a small team.

Experience using accounting software is essential, although full training will be provided on our bespoke system.

Working Hours & Flexibility

We understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance, so we're happy to offer flexibility around your working hours and days.

• A minimum of 20 hours per week.


• Working days and start/finish times can be agreed to suit both you and the business.


• Hours can be spread across three to five days, Monday to Friday.


• Potential for the role to develop into a full-time position as the business continues to grow.

Whether you're looking to fit work around family commitments or simply prefer a part-time working pattern, we're open to discussing an arrangement that works for everyone.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay of £14.00–£16.00 per hour, depending on experience.


• Flexible working hours and days.


• A friendly, relaxed and supportive working environment.


• The opportunity to take ownership of the accounts function.


• A stable, long-term role within an established and growing business.


• Potential progression into a full-time position.
