• Managing supplier and customer account reconciliations
• Chasing outstanding payments and resolving account queries
• Assisting with payment runs and cash allocation
• Supporting month-end activities and finance administration
• Building strong relationships with suppliers, customers and internal stakeholders

• Previous experience within Purchase Ledger, Sales Ledger or Accounts Assistant roles
• Strong attention to detail and a highly organised approach
• Confident communication skills and a customer-focused mindset
• Comfortable working with finance systems and Excel
• Ability to manage workloads and prioritise effectively
