Purchase Ledger Clerk | Dover | DOE

I am exclusively working with a client who is seeking an accurate, organised Purchase Ledger Clerk to join a busy finance team. You will provide timely purchase-ledger support, making sure supplier invoices, payments and reconciliations are processed in line with company controls and that your records support reliable month-end reporting. The business is also moving to a new ERP system, so you will have the chance to play a hands-on part in the transition.

Key Responsibilities

·         Invoice Processing: Process purchase invoices and credit notes accurately, matching them to purchase orders, goods receipts and the relevant approval authorities.

·         Query Resolution: Resolve invoice discrepancies, blocked invoices and ordering issues promptly with suppliers, Purchasing and other internal departments.

·         Purchase Order Monitoring: Maintain purchase-order systems and order books, investigating old orders and anomalies as required.

·         Supplier Reconciliations: Reconcile supplier statements regularly and resolve outstanding invoices, returns, credits and payment queries in a timely manner.

·         Payment Runs: Prepare supplier payment runs and other approved payments, including overseas transfers, for review and authorisation.

·         Supplier Master Data: Maintain accurate supplier records and supporting documentation in line with company controls.

·         Credit Card Ledger: Administer and process the company credit-card ledger and related supporting documentation.

·         Month-End: Reconcile the Purchase Ledger control account to the General Ledger and support purchase-order invoice accruals and reporting.

·         ERP Transition: Support the move to a new ERP system, including data validation, process testing, user acceptance testing and implementation activities.

·         Process Improvement: Help document revised finance processes and resolve transactional issues during stabilisation.

·         Team Support: Provide flexible support across the finance team and undertake other reasonable duties as required.
