This is an excellent opportunity for someone with limited accountancy and finance experience to get into a large company where there is real opportunity to develop and progress over time. Candidates with a strong, stable administrative background will also be considered alongside candidates with sales ledger and credit control experience.

-Performing bank reconciliations.
-Processing direct debits mandates.

-Chasing outstanding monies over the telephone and via email as and when required.
-Raising payments.
-Monitoring all sales orders.
-Chasing overdue accounts.
-Issuing monthly statements.
-Maintaining the petty cash.
-Supporting the finance team in other areas as and when required
The ideal candidate will:-
-Have some basic accountancy experience or will have worked within an office environment before or will have a sales ledger/credit control background.
-Be self-motivated and enjoy working in a fast paced environment and enjoy working towards deadlines.
-Have excellent organisational and communication skills.
-Want to start a career in accountancy or finance and will be happy to learn and develop new skills or be happy to continue within a sales ledger/credit control role.
