• Purchase Ledger Assistant

  • Jul 2020 - Aug 2022

  - My current position has involved me being responsible for the entire Purchase Ledger function of the Worcester site for a large-scale manufacturer of castings. Main duties include the raising of purchase orders and forwarding to suppliers, booking in of delivery notes on Aventa, matching delivery notes to invoices, and the processing of these invoices daily to Sage. Most days involve a variety of tasks, which require good time management, such as keeping on top of filing, dealing with calls from suppliers, responding to emails in a timely manner, reconciliation of statements, upload of the sales invoices daily to sage, liaising with suppliers for delivery dates, dealing with payment queries, sending out remittances, providing auditors with requested information. - During month end I would also have other responsibilities, such as chasing for stock counts across various factory departments, journal upload for any purchase invoices not yet processed, ensuring all sales invoices for the month have been uploaded, performing a sales reconciliation, and the journal upload for any intercompany invoices. What I have gained most from this position is an improvement in my excel skills, especially when it comes to using pivot tables and charts, as I helped to create a spreadsheet for one of our key suppliers, which I update on a monthly basis for the finance director to use for analysis. Since the start of this year I have also been helping the IT department with various site issues, and helping to set up new starters with everything they need on site, this has been tricky to juggle with my normal jobs, but has made me better at time management.

• Credit Controller

  • Sep 2015 - Jul 2020

  My previous role involved working in the credit control department, which required a lot of perseverance and resilience as this involved chasing clients for debt. I enjoyed this role as it entails a great deal of time communicating with a diversity of people on the phone, which forced me out of my comfort zone and has given me a new found confidence. Another part of the credit control responsibilities was raising the invoices on behalf of head office and while this can be quite a tricky task and does require focus, I thoroughly enjoyed this role and it gave me a deeper understanding of the E5 and Legend systems. In addition to this I was given more responsibility in the form of the CDR balance sheet, which I needed to balance on a monthly basis for all companies, and make sure the contra journals were uploaded within the month. I was also responsible for journaling the vending income, which needed to be completed on a strict time basis each month.During my time in the Revenues department, I dealt with the money that was received and outgoing transactions from 9 different companies daily. This involved working through the bank recs and updating it daily, and also dealing with site queries, both on the phone and email, regarding the Legend Till system and site related income. This was an incredibly varied role that required the completion of multiple tasks, some of which had strict deadlines, therefore a careful prioritising and time management approach was required. My main duty within the Purchase ledger role was to manage the incoming invoices for over 80 different sites and to ensure the suppliers are being paid on time. This involved liaising with both sites and suppliers. It therefore required a good telephone manner as well as the ability to communicate effectively as a good amount of the day was spent answering telephone queries.
