I trained staff in the Purchase Ledger function and regulate their entries onto our accounting system. Due to the size of the company, I have a good grasp of customer contracts and help with any queries that we have with them. The main difference to my role in this period was that I was working with the financial controller and not for the financial controller. We shared the responsibility for the management accounts, a job share environment. We made decisions on how the department should be run, the recruitment of staff and bounced ideas off each other.
