Sales Ledger Administrator - Temporary to Permanent

Gleeson are excited to be working with a business who are going through a real growth phase right now - following a number of acquisitions, they are now bringing their finance function together into one central team, and as part of that, are looking to recruit a Sales Ledger Administrator into this newly created role.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys working within a hands-on, fast-paced finance environment, where you'll play a key part in getting processes in place and supporting the Credit Control team by keeping the ledgers fully up to date.

The business is at a point where a lot of structure is still being built, so this role would really suit someone who enjoys coming in, taking ownership, and being part of improving how things are done.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

• Full responsibility for posting and allocating all incoming customer payments across multiple trading entities.
• Ensuring payments are accurately posted against customer accounts - including managing situations where remittances are missing or incomplete.
• Allocating both automated and manual payments, including cheques and ad hoc receipts.
• Investigating unallocated cash and working closely with both customers and internal teams to resolve any discrepancies.
• Supporting the Credit Control team by keeping accounts fully up to date to avoid any delays in chasing outstanding payments.
• Assisting in building and issuing customer statements - a new process currently being introduced as part of improving the credit control cycle.
• Working closely with Account Managers and operational teams to help resolve customer account queries quickly and accurately.
• Maintaining accurate records across all ledgers and ensuring clean, reconciled accounts.
• Supporting wider finance administration tasks as the department continues to grow.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Previous experience working within Sales Ledger, Accounts Receivable or wider finance admin roles.
• Confident managing high volumes of payment posting and allocations.
• Comfortable investigating discrepancies and proactively resolving issues.
• Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables etc) - you'll be using Excel daily to track and reconcile payments.
• Sage 50 experience would be a bonus but not essential.
• Organised, methodical and with excellent attention to detail.
• A hands-on approach - someone who enjoys helping improve processes and getting involved as the team grows.

THE DETAILS:

• This role is looking to start ASAP so they are hiring on a temporary to permanent basis.
• Full time in office.
• On-site parking and public transport links available.
• Work with a business who are creating a 'Group' function and are building a Sales Ledger division from scratch. Giving you the opportunity to shape this role with process suggestions and ideas.
