We currently have over 1,700 colleagues across 32 locations and we offer the full spectrum of legal and professional services.

• Accurately processing and coding invoices to the correct nominal codes and office;
• Processing invoices to the correct client accounts;
• Processing and checking staff expenses;
• Setting up new supplier accounts and verifying bank details;
• Reconciliation of supplier statements;
• Assisting with the preparation of regular payment runs;
• Managing your own and the purchase ledger email inbox; and
• Completing ad hoc duties as required.

Skills and experience:

• Past experience of a purchase ledger role;
• Strong interpersonal skills;
• Ability to resolve queries independently;
• Exceptional attention to detail;
• Good organisational and time management skills to ensure adherence to tight deadlines;
