Are you an experienced Purchase Ledger Clerk looking for your next opportunity within a

supportive and established finance team?

We are recruiting for a Purchase Ledger Clerk to join a growing business based in East Kilbride. This is an excellent opportunity for an

organised and reliable finance professional who enjoys a varied role and is keen to develop their experience across the wider finance function.

Working closely with the Finance Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the purchase ledger, alongside supporting allocations, month-end processes and general bookkeeping duties. There will also be

opportunities to gain exposure to the sales ledger and broaden your finance experience.

This position would suit someone who takes pride in accuracy, enjoys being part of a close-knit team and is looking for a stable working environment with the opportunity to secure a permanent position.

The role will initially be offered on a 3-month fixed-term contract, with the intention of moving to a permanent position thereafter.

Monday to Thursday 8:30 - 17:00

Friday 8:30 - 16:00.

Hybrid working available following the initial training period.

What's in it for you?

* Opportunity to move into a permanent position after the initial 3-month contract.

* Life insurance and additional benefits following permanent appointment.

* Opportunity to broaden your experience across purchase ledger, sales ledger and general finance duties.

* A small, established and supportive finance team.

Key Responsibilities

* Manage the day-to-day purchase ledger function, accounting for approximately 90% of the role.

* Process purchase invoices and maintain accurate financial records.

* Assist with payment allocations and the resolution of account discrepancies.

* Support month-end procedures and financial reconciliations.

* Maintain accurate and up-to-date records using Sage 200.

* Provide general bookkeeping and finance administration support.

What We're Looking For

* Previous experience working within a purchase ledger or accounts payable role.

* Sales ledger experience would be advantageous but is not essential.

* Experience using Sage 200 would be beneficial.

* A good understanding of general bookkeeping and finance processes.

* Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills.

* A reliable, methodical and proactive approach to work.
