Axon Moore is delighted to be exclusively partnering with a long standing client to recruit this brand new Purchase Ledger Analyst position. This is not a traditional Accounts Payable role! This newly created position sits within the Accounts Payable team but has been designed for someone with a strong analytical and data focused skillset who can help drive improvements across the team and wider business.
Whilst there will be some exposure to day to day AP activity, the main focus of the role will be data analysis, complex reconciliations, investigating variances and identifying opportunities for improvement. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced AP professional who has moved beyond traditional invoice processing, or an analyst looking to move into a more finance-focused environment.
Location: Remote
- Complete detailed supplier invoice reconciliations, working with large data sets and comparing supplier information against agreed pricing and contractual data.
- Complete VAT, duty and other financial reconciliations, comparing supplier data against system calculations and investigating differences.
- Work closely with internal teams and external suppliers to resolve data and reconciliation queries.
- Maintain and manage designated cost logs, ensuring data is accurate, complete and up to date.
- Calculate key financial metrics to support KPI reporting and wider business analysis.
- Identify opportunities for process improvements within the AP function and support their implementation.
- Provide ad-hoc analysis and reporting as required.
- Work with large and complex data sets to identify trends, anomalies and opportunities to improve financial accuracy and efficiency.
We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with data, solving problems and getting to the bottom of discrepancies:
- An Accounts Payable professional whose current or previous role has been heavily analysis-led.
- An Analyst looking to move into a finance-focused position.
- Someone with experience working with large data sets and complex reconciliations.
- Strong Excel skills and confidence working with large volumes of data.
- Previous experience in an analysis-led role.
- Strong reconciliation and problem-solving skills.
This is a complex and interesting role that will suit someone who loves a challenge, enjoys getting stuck into data and wants to do more than traditional Accounts Payable.
