Job Description

We're looking for an experienced finance professional to join a busy accounts team on a temporary basis. Reporting to the Head of Finance, this is a hands-on role supporting the day-to-day running of the sales and purchase ledger functions.

This could also lead to consideration for the permanent position.

About You

\n

You'll have strong experience across both sales and purchase ledger, excellent reconciliation skills and be confident using Excel. Credit control experience is also desirable.

\n

Previous supervisory or management experience would be advantageous, although the role is initially hands-on.

\n

If you're available immediately (or at short notice) and are looking for a rewarding temporary opportunity where you can make an immediate impact, we'd love to hear from you.
