Temporary Purchase Ledger Clerk

Purchase Ledger Clerk | 3 Month Contract | Property Sector | Sage 200

I’m recruiting on behalf of a well-established organisation in the property sector that is looking for an experienced Purchase Ledger Clerk to support them on an initial three-month contract.

Following a recent merger, the finance team is working through a busy period of change as they bring processes, suppliers and systems together. Sage 200 has recently been introduced into the business, so they are keen to find someone who already knows the system and can help the team get up to speed quickly, while also keeping the purchase ledger running smoothly.

This would suit someone with strong purchase ledger experience who is confident stepping into a busy finance team, getting stuck in quickly and helping bring structure and pace during a period of change.

What you’ll be doing:

• Processing high volumes of purchase invoices and credit notes


• Coding, matching and authorising invoices accurately


• Supporting the team with Sage 200 processes and helping navigate the system


• Running supplier payment batches and issuing remittances


• Reconciling supplier statements and investigating discrepancies


• Liaising with suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve queries


• Managing the purchase ledger inbox and ensuring queries are dealt with promptly


• Processing staff expenses, ensuring correct coding and narratives


• Supporting the wider finance team through a busy post-merger period

What we’re looking for:

• Solid purchase ledger/accounts payable experience


• Sage 200 experience is strongly preferred


• Confident working in a busy, hands-on finance role


• Strong attention to detail and accuracy


• Good communication skills, with the confidence to deal with suppliers and internal colleagues


• Someone proactive, adaptable and happy to support a team through change


• Available to start at short notice

What’s on offer:

• Initial three-month contract


• £14 - £15 per hour


• Hybrid working, with two days from home


• Supportive and collaborative finance team


• Opportunity to add real value during a key period of transition

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Purchase Ledger Clerk who knows Sage 200 and can come in, steady the ship and make an immediate impact.
