This is a permanent position offering a salary of £30,000 to £34,000 per annum, depending on experience.

This is a hands-on finance position suited to someone who enjoys keeping things organised, working accurately and taking ownership of supplier accounts and purchase ledger activity. Working closely with the senior finance team, you’ll play an important part in ensuring invoices, supplier payments and account reconciliations are processed accurately and on time.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Processing purchase invoices and matching these against purchase orders and Goods Received Notes

• Maintaining accurate purchase ledger and supplier account records

• Setting up new suppliers and ensuring account information is kept up to date

• Reconciling supplier statements and investigating any discrepancies

• Dealing with supplier queries professionally and ensuring issues are followed through to resolution

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with previous experience in purchase ledger, accounts payable, finance administration or a similar accounts-based role.

You should be comfortable processing a reasonable volume of invoices, reconciling supplier accounts and investigating discrepancies rather than simply passing queries on.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous purchase ledger or accounts payable experience

• Experience matching invoices against purchase orders and Goods Received Notes

• Good supplier statement reconciliation skills

• Confidence dealing directly with suppliers regarding invoice and account queries

• Strong numerical accuracy and attention to detail

• The ability to organise your workload and work to regular finance deadlines

• A professional and confident communication style

• The ability to work independently while being part of a wider finance team

Additional Experience That Would Be Beneficial

Experience with Sage or OrderWise would be particularly useful, although this is not essential.

We’d also be interested in speaking with candidates who have experience of any of the following:

• Preparing BACS or supplier payment runs

• International or overseas supplier payments

• Freight invoice processing

• Company credit card reconciliations

• Intercompany transactions

• Goods in Transit

• Employee expenses and petty cash

• VAT on purchase invoices

• Manufacturing, engineering, distribution, import or export environments

A bookkeeping, finance or accounting qualification would be welcomed but is not essential where you can demonstrate strong practical experience.

About the Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join an established Fife business with a long history in engineering and manufacturing. You’ll become part of a supportive team and take on a varied finance role where accuracy, reliability and good communication are genuinely valued.
