Sales Ledger Clerk / Finance Assistant

at  Hays Recruitment

YOUR NEW COMPANY

Hays Accountancy & Finance are supporting an established organisation in Holt, North Norfolk in their search for a sales ledger / fee billings / finance clerk to give commitment to a maternity contract role until January 2026. In this unique role, you will take responsibility for raising sales invoices for fees as well as other finance duties such as reconciliations, month-end close etc.

YOUR NEW ROLE

In this temporary finance contract job you will play a key role, ensuring all relevant sales invoices / fee billing details are raised correctly, which will involve working closely with the wider finance team and support services across 3 sites. This will involve updating the internal database (SIMS) on all activities, ensuring the data is recorded correctly, which will result in an invoice as well as providing a breakdown of costs incurred and itemised billing. You will use your accounting experience to reconcile customer accounts, and set up new bill payer details and understand accounts to trial balance as you will post items to the sales ledger, allocate payments received and reconcile items to the nominal ledger.
You will also ensure payments are received by following strict internal processes to ensure prompt payment from the bill payer and other sources, which will require you to be highly organised and professional in your approach to collecting any outstanding payments. During key times of the year, you will reconcile all standard fees and additional costs (such as music and learning support lessons, travel, exam entry fees, house disbursements, trips and other charges), as well as investigate and explain any discrepancies. Therefore, you must be confident with Excel in checking data and producing month & year-end financial reports from the ledgers.
