A temporary opportunity has arisen for an experienced Purchase Ledger Assistant to join a well-established organisation based in central Cambridge. This role is expected to run from October until the end of the year and will provide vital support to the finance team, ensuring the smooth running of the purchase ledger function throughout the cover period. This role will report into the Finance Manager, and will be office based initially, with potentially a day a week from home towards the latter stages of the assignment

As the incoming Purchase Ledger Assistant, you will be tasked with the follow key responsibilities:

  • Processing and coding purchase invoices

  • Reconciling supplier statements and resolving invoice queries

  • Preparing supplier payments and weekly BACS runs

  • Maintaining supplier records and payment details

  • Assisting with cash book postings and general finance administration

As the successful applicant, you will have previous experience managing the purchase ledger process from start to finish and be confident working with finance systems. You will possess strong organisational skills, a high level of accuracy and attention to detail, and excellent communication skills when dealing with suppliers and internal stakeholders. Good working knowledge of Word, Excel and Outlook is required, and experience within an education setting would be advantageous.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accounts professional to join a great team. The role does have on site parking available despite the central location. For further information, apply now or contact Jamie at Pure for an initial discussion.
