Part Time Accounts Payable Administrator

Think Accountancy & Finance are delighted to be supporting a well-established and successful international business with the recruitment of a Part TimePurchase Ledger Administrator to join their UK finance team.

This is a great opportunity for someone with solid purchase ledger experience who enjoys being part of a friendly, close-knit team and wants a role where attention to detail and getting things right really matters.

The business is part of a global organisation with operations across Europe, Asia and the USA, but the UK team has a much more personal feel. You'll be working closely with the Finance, Customer Service and Operations teams, reporting directly to the Finance Director.

This is a part time role offering 21 hours a week which can be worked to suit you - over 5, 4 or 3 days a week. All hours will be based in their Watford office.

The role

You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the purchase ledger function, making sure invoices are processed accurately and suppliers are paid efficiently and on time.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Processing purchase invoices
• Matching invoices against purchase orders and delivery notes
• Setting up new supplier accounts and maintaining existing supplier records
• Supporting the BACS payment process
• Carrying out account reconciliations
• Supporting the Credit Controller when required
• Working closely with internal teams and suppliers to resolve any queries

About you

We're looking for someone who has a good understanding of purchase ledger/accounts payable and is comfortable managing their own workload.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience within a purchase ledger or accounts payable role
• Good attention to detail and a methodical approach
• Strong communication skills, particularly when dealing with suppliers
• Good Microsoft Office skills
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a small team
• A positive, flexible and practical approach to your work
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage priorities

Most importantly, you'll be someone who is approachable, reliable and happy to get involved. This is a small and dynamic team, so a genuine can-do attitude and willingness to support colleagues will be important.

If you're looking for a hands-on purchase ledger role within an established international business, we'd be keen to hear from you.
