Sales Ledger Admin

An amazing job opportunity has become available for a logistics/haulage business based near the Birmingham Airport. This role is a maternity cover, supporting the business with the coverage of their current Sales Ledger Clerk who is going to be taking about 9-12 months off. This role is very exciting as the business is going through a growth period, so although it is beginning as a temporary role due to the maternity cover, there is very much a chance that the role can convert into a permanent position and progress into something different during your time there!

The successful candidate will be responsible for a range of sales ledger tasks, including, but not limited to; raising invoices (roughly about 200 per week), processing credit notes, completing bank statement reconciliations, allocating payments, working closely with the company credit controller to understand what is over due and a range of other things. This role also has scope to support with other aspects of the finance department including payroll and month end. Another reason this role is so exciting is because this business is a lot more focused on finding someone they feel can fit in well with the team, and as a result the level of experience required for this role is very broad, ideally you will have 2-3 years of similar experience but if you only have 3-6 months experience you could still be considered.

Due to this being a temporary role to begin with we are ideally looking for people who can start quite quickly so please only apply if you are immediately available or on a short notice.

• Ideally you will have prior finance experience, particularly in sales ledger, ideally 2-3 years but we are very open to speaking with people who have just a few months experience as well.
• Be a strong communicator who is happy to interact with a range of different people within the business, and also with clients of the business to resolve issues. We need someone who is happy to get on a phone call to resolve an issue, rather than trying to resolve things over email.
• Be confident on excel, a lot of the investigation and reconciliation tasks will require excel so be familiar with this.
• Be immediately available or on a short notice as this role is looking to begin before Christmas!

• An exceptional training opportunity within a wider finance team, the training provided for this business is next to none and the ongoing support from the senior team is outstanding. The successful person will have all the tools to grow and succeed within this role!
• Work within a supportive and personable environment, one that has been known to recognise talent and offer progressive opportunities to allow that to grow!
• Work at a business based in a really accessible location, with easy bus, train and driving links available.
• Have the chance to potentially convert over to a permanent role with the business, this is a company who are growing so you will be able to grow with them.

If this role sounds like something you would be interested in and you think you have all the skills to be the right fit for this role then please submit your CV now!
