Purchase Ledger Clerk (Route to Assistant Accountant)

Rochdale

£21,000 – £23,000

This role is designed for an individual who wants to progress and your development plan will be mapped out in two stages:

Phase 1 (12 months): Managing the Purchase Ledger function; getting to know your suppliers, preparing payments runs and reconciling the supplier statements

Phase 2 (12 months +): Moving into an Assistant Accountant role; you will receive study support from day one so after your first year, you will be perfectly aligned to start supporting with month-end close and assisting with management accounts

In order to be considered for this role, you must be happy to be in a transactional finance role to begin with and accept that you must learn these processes and procedures in order to progress to the next stage in your career.

This experience will give you all the foundations you need to push on and move up the ladder; providing you put in the hard work & graft, there is no limit to the progression possibilities; the Directors are always on the lookout for talent they can retain & invest in.

So, if your long-term career aspirations are to become a senior finance figure, this is a business who will literally create a step-by-step guide to help you get to that level; there won’t be false promises and they certainly won’t sell you the dream and not deliver.

The Financial Controller will always be on hand for support and is well-known in the business for the training programmes she offers to all staff – whether that be additional support with the systems they use or if you need help with a particular module of your AAT.

Aside from the experience you will gain, this truly is a great company to work for and benefits include annual bonus scheme for all staff and regular social gatherings.

I am interviewing for this role immediately so please submit your CV to rebecca@platinumrecruits.co.uk to be considered.

Our Senior Recruitment Consultant Dan recently enjoyed an evening with @bryanrobson who spoke openly about pressure, setbacks, leadership and the importance to never being afraid to step forward in difficult moments. Something which can be associated with any line of work. 

What an evening to be part of with many lessons learnt.
