Leigh, United Kingdom Colas Full time

Job Introduction
Colas' finance team are dotted around multiple sites in the UK and support the back-office accountancy function for the business. Due to increased demand, we’re looking for a Finance Administrator based in Leigh to support with invoicing and dealing with invoice queries.

Main Responsibilities
This role involves matching invoices with receipts for goods received from our construction sites and assisting with the month end accounting routine. You’ll work closely with the Head of Finance to learn our in-house systems and assist with general accounts clerical duties as needed.
