Job Description
The Company
Interim/Temporary Purchase Ledger – Office based
Able Bridge Recruitment are delighted to be working with an award winning facilities management company based on the outskirts of Edinburgh. We have been tasked with supporting the business with a number of temporary purchase ledger professionals to join the team on an initial 3-month contract with the potential (not guaranteed), of the roles becoming permanent.
The purchase ledger team within our client’s business is split into multiple areas. This specific role will be reporting to the purchase ledger manager and will sit within a team of approximately 3 other people (within this specific purchase ledger department).
The Responsibilities
The purpose of this role is to provide support to the purchase ledger team in relation to query resolution. There is currently a stretch on the team where invoices are being delayed as there are queries on them, however the team are unable to focus on the resolution of these queries as more invoices are coming in. The result is that our client is not paying invoices promptly and this is negatively effecting their trading position.
On a day-to-day basis you can expect to be responsible for the following;
Review invoices that are currently in a `query` silo in order to identify what the potential issues maybe.
Work with business heads and department leads in the raising of correct and accurate PO numbers, ensuring values and volumes are accurately noted.
Work with suppliers in the communication of set out expectations in relation to supplier statements and suppliers obligations such as quoting PO numbers etc.
Liaise with internal colleagues in the timely resolution of issues/queries on invoices that can be resolved internally.
Reconcile supplier accounts/statements to ensure over or under payments are eliminated.
Once invoice queries have been resolved, follow the process through to ensuring the right PL team processes the payment.
The Requirements
We are seeking highly experienced purchase ledger professionals (practical experience). The role will not be inputting invoices, matching batching or coding, instead it will be on investigating anomalies and resolving problems. We need individuals who have a thorough understanding of the purchase ledger process, but who also have an inquisitive and investigatory mindset. You will be communicating with customers and colleagues throughout the day so superb communication skills are paramount! We seek individuals who are available immediately or at most 1 weeks notice and who are able to travel to the outskirts of Edinburgh.
If you are interested in hearing more detail about this role or would like to have a confidential chat about a potential career move, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
