The Finance Officer will maintain the Purchase Ledger database, including setting up new accounts and keeping addresses and bank details up to date, and make sure that supplier queries are resolved in a timely, efficient manner. You will also reconcile supplier statements, following up and resolving any differences and make sure that Purchase Orders are used in line with financial regulations, liaising with budget holders where procedures are not followed. Understanding the VAT implications of transactions processed and ensuring that VAT is correctly treated on all invoices and expense transactions, you will set up and carry out the weekly payment runs periodically and ensure remittance advices are dispatched promptly.

You will chase outstanding debts and course fees via letter, email, and telephone, and maintain records of chasing activity. You will receive cash, credit card, and cheque payments, prepare them for banking, and update the finance system in accordance with Finance operating procedures.

With excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, you will be comfortable dealing directly with customers and handling queries and have experience of using purchase order processing and an online approvals system.
