Warrington, Warrington, United Kingdom Headstar Full time £28,000 - £32,000 per year

If you're the kind of person who likes everything to line up perfectly, every invoice matched, every query resolved, every supplier paid on time, this one's perfect.

This isn't a data-entry role. It's about taking real ownership of the purchase ledger function: keeping it accurate, efficient, and compliant. You'll be the go-to person for resolving issues, improving processes, and ensuring the finance team always has the right information at the right time.

You'll work as part of a collaborative finance team within a busy, fast-paced business environment the kind where your input genuinely makes a difference.

What you'll be doing:

  • Overseeing day-to-day purchase ledger operations across multiple sites or cost centres
  • Processing and matching invoices, purchase orders, and goods receipts with precision (3-way matching)
  • Investigating discrepancies and working with internal teams to resolve issues quickly
  • Managing supplier relationships and ensuring payments are made accurately and on schedule
  • Performing supplier statement reconciliations and maintaining clean, up-to-date ledgers
  • Coordinating invoice approvals and coding processes to ensure compliance with company policy
  • Supporting the month-end close with accruals, reconciliations, and reporting
  • Assisting with system improvements and contributing to process efficiency projects
  • Providing guidance and support to junior team members where needed

What you'll bring:

  • Proven experience in purchase ledger or accounts payable, ideally at a senior level
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving and a keen eye for detail
  • Strong communication skills for liaising with suppliers, buyers, and internal stakeholders
  • Solid Excel skills and familiarity with ERP systems (SAP experience is a plus)
  • Experience in manufacturing or a similar environment preferred
  • The ability to manage your workload and meet deadlines in a fast-moving setting

What's in it for you:

  • £28,000-£32,000 depending on experience
  • 30 days' holiday (plus bank holidays)
  • Private medical cover and a strong pension scheme
  • A supportive finance team where accuracy and improvement are genuinely valued
  • The chance to take ownership of a key finance function and make it your own

If you're ready for a role that values accuracy, accountability, and initiative, where you can build on your purchase ledger expertise and take the next step in your finance career, click "apply now".
