Job Description
Macildowie are pleased to welcome in the new year working exclusively with a trusted client based in South Leicestershire as their team and business continues to grow.
Are you an experienced Purchase Ledger professional ready to take ownership of your role? Would you enjoy working in a high-growth business where you can make a genuine impact and be part of a close-knit, friendly finance team?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established group operating across a sector that continues to expand rapidly. With ten business entities already in place and more acquisitions on the horizon, this business is at an exciting stage of growth.
Position Overview
- Job Title: Purchase Ledger Clerk
- Location: Leicester - Meridian Business Park (LE19)
- Salary: £25,000 - £28,000, depending on experience
- Type: Permanent, full-time
- Hours: 8.30am - 5.00pm, Monday to Friday (40 hours/week)
- Working Arrangement: Fully office-based
Why This Role Stands Out
- You'll take full responsibility for the purchase ledger function across multiple business entities, acting as the go-to expert for all accounts payable queries
- You'll work alongside a supportive team of six, each managing their own area - giving you space to thrive while staying connected to a collaborative team
- The business is scaling through acquisition, offering plenty of variety and the opportunity to evolve with the role
- The offices are modern and open-plan, and the culture is one of trust, accountability and good humour
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Process supplier invoices daily and ensure accurate coding and posting
- Carry out regular supplier statement reconciliations across all group entities
- Manage the central purchase ledger inbox and respond to supplier queries promptly
- Work closely with internal service and project teams to resolve discrepancies
- Handle supplier calls in a professional and confident manner
- Support the Finance Manager and the wider team with any ledger improvements or changes
- Be ready to contribute ideas as the business scales and processes evolve
What We're Looking For
- A minimum of 3 years' experience in purchase ledger or accounts payable
- Someone who is proactive, confident and able to manage a varied workload with minimal supervision
- Comfortable working across multiple business entities
- Strong attention to detail and excellent time management skills
- Xero and/or Simpro experience would be an advantage, but is not essential
- A positive, team-oriented attitude and a desire to work in a lively, fast-moving environment
What's In It For You?
- A key finance role in a growing, forward-thinking group
- A seat in a sociable and motivated team where people support each other
- The chance to shape how things are done as the company expands
- A professional, friendly environment where hard work is recognised
- A clear sense of ownership and variety in your day-to-day role
If you're looking to join a business where your experience will be valued, your voice will be heard, and your role will evolve with the company - then this could be your next move.
