Sales Ledger Assistant

Sales Ledger Assistant – Permanent – based in Wellingborough, NN8

 

Job Purpose:

We are seeking an experienced Sales Ledger Assistant to join a well-established facilities services business operating nationwide and supporting a wide range of commercial clients across the UK.

 

Reporting to the Finance Team Leader, this role is focused on the sales ledger and the invoicing process for the business. You will produce high volumes of accurate sales invoices from job cards, using Excel matrices to make sure every invoice reflects the work carried out and is charged correctly. Purchase ledger and credit control will form a supporting part of the role.

 

This full-time, office-based role would suit a detail-driven, methodical individual who enjoys high-volume, accuracy-focused work. As the emphasis is firmly on invoice production, the role would best suit candidates with a strong sales ledger invoicing background, rather than those whose experience is mainly in credit control.

Team Contribution & Collaboration

 

• Work closely with the wider finance team to meet all financial deadlines.
• Support the Finance Team Leader with a range of finance tasks as the business grows.
• Provide support with purchase ledger and credit control tasks when required.
• Assist with general finance administration tasks as needed.
• Contribute to maintaining an efficient, accurate and compliant finance function.
• Support the wider business and undertake other tasks as required by the needs of the business.

 

Person Specification:

• Exceptional attention to detail with a strong focus on accuracy.
• Methodical and well organised, comfortable working in a high-volume environment.
• Good time management skills with the ability to juggle competing priorities.
• Confident communicator, both written and verbal.
• Able to work under pressure and consistently meet deadlines.
• Proactive, with a flexible, can-do attitude and a genuine team spirit.
• Willing to learn and grow with the role.

 

Experience:

Essential

 

• Proven experience producing high volumes of sales ledger invoices.
• Experience raising invoices from job cards or similar documentation.
• Strong Excel skills, including using matrices to calculate invoice charges.
• Previous experience in a finance or accounts role.
