• Raising sales invoices and credit notes where required.
• Allocating customer payments against outstanding invoices.

• Xero or similar accounting software.
• Salesforce.
• Purchase ledger and/or sales ledger processes.
• Bank reconciliations.
• Credit control.
• An AAT, bookkeeping or accounting qualification, or currently working towards one.

Practical experience and the right attitude are just as important to us.
