We are seeking an enthusiastic and detail-focused Purchase Ledger Clerk with strong purchase ledger experience to join our Construction Finance team.

Duties also include submitting CIS returns to HMRC, issuing subcontractor CIS statements, and verifying subcontractors for CIS compliance.

You will assist with supplier queries, obtain invoice approvals from Asset Managers, and update the bank reconciliation spreadsheet with supplier payments once processed. The position also involves maintaining accurate and well-organised records, issuing purchase orders, and providing support to the Management Accountant and other departmental managers. Additional ad-hoc duties may be required as needed.

• 23 days annual leave (increasing by 1 day per year up to 25 days, capped)
