Job Description

Senior Purchase Ledger Clerk Bolton £35,000 – £38,000 My client is looking for a Senior Purchase Ledger Clerk who doesn’t run from chaos… but embraces it! The Finance Director is currently holding the purchase ledger together, and we now need a permanent, experienced pair of hands to come in, take ownership, and sort it properly. This is not a role for someone who wants an easy ride or a perfectly polished finance function already ticking along nicely. They need someone resilient, organised, proactive, and experienced enough to walk into a busy environment, identify issues quickly, and get things under control. If you enjoy untangling problems, improving processes, and bringing order to a fast-paced accounts department, this could be exactly the challenge you’re looking for. This role won’t suit someone looking to hide in the background. But for the right Purchase Ledger Clerk? It’s an opportunity to make a genuine impact, transform a function, and be recognised for it. If you’re the type who walks into disorder and leaves behind control, stability, and results – our client wants to hear from you. Interviews being held immediately – CVs to Rebecca Ackerley/ rebecca@platinumrecruits.co.uk
