Job description
At Sharp Consultancy, our annual Easter Egg Drive has once again brought together our team, clients, and community to support local charities and spread a little cheer. As a finance and accountancy recruitment business rooted in Yorkshire, we’re proud to use our network to give something back-and this year has been no exception.Led by Tom Davage, Senior Consultant in our South Yorkshire office, our team has been out and about collecting Easter egg donations from our fantastic clients. The generosity shown has been incredible, especially given the ongoing challenges many continue to face. Thanks to everyone who contributed, we were able to deliver meaningful support to three wonderful charities in our region: Paces, a specialist centre supporting children with cerebral palsy and motor disorders; St Luke’s Hospice, which offers compassionate end-of-life care; and The Family Works, a trauma informed, family support project working alongside underprivileged families.Tom, who organised this year’s initiative, shared: “When you hear the stories from the people working within these charities, it really opens your eyes to the challenges others face. If we can bring a smile to someone’s face-even through something as simple as an Easter egg-it makes it all worthwhile. Every bit of support counts.” Seeing familiar donators from past years and welcoming new ones has been truly heart-warming. It’s a testament to the kind and community-minded nature of the businesses we work with. To all our clients who donated, thank you. Your kindness and continued support make this initiative possible and help us make a real difference. If you’d like to get involved next year or learn more about the causes we support, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can keep making a positive impact-one small gesture at a time.×Job details Posted 28 April 2025 Salary £28,000 – £30,000 Study Support LocationYork Job type Discipline ReferenceLCO40853ConsultantSenior ConsultantAccounts Payable / Finance AssistantJob descriptionWorking as part of a small finance function for a business based in central York you will take responsibility for reconciling supplier accounts, processing supplier invoices and transactions, and provide information for payment batches on a timely basis and in an accurate manner.The main duties and responsibilities are to include:Ensure that purchase ledger transactions are processed in accordance with the accounting timetable and carry out the month end accounting procedures efficiently ensuring accounting records are up to date.Manage own supplier accounts and be the main contact point for account queries, dealing with invoicing queries in an effective and timely manner.Manage supplier accruals to ensure accuracy and clear down to required level by month end deadline.Process high volumes of invoices and transactions ensuring all invoices are accurately allocated onto system in a timely basis.Ensure supplier statement reconciliations are carried out accurately and on a timely basis.Preparation of invoices ready for payment.General administration and non-routine payment processing as requested.Communicate to line management ideas for improvement, aimed at enhancing performance and efficiency at company, team and personal levels.Provide support to other departments as required with a cross functional and flexible approach to work activities.Perform any other duties assigned by the Ledger team Manager, from time to time, displaying flexibility in the role.We would be keen to hear from candidates with the following skills and experience:Proven previous experience of working in a high-volume purchase ledger environment.A high level of numeracy and data understanding/manipulation.Excellent IT skills, including keyboard skills and Microsoft packages Windows / Office / Outlook / Explorer.A self-starter with a positive, enthusiastic ‘can do’ attitude and a down to earth approachable manner.Able to work under pressure to meet deadlines with strong attention to detail and accuracy.Effective management of own workload.This role is situation right in the heart of York with excellent public transport links available along with a hybrid work pattern of 1 day home working.If you are interested in this role apply immediately as interviews are available for suitable candidates with the relevant work experience at relative short notice.Sharp Consultancy is a finance and accountancy recruitment specialist assisting accounting and finance divisions of businesses in the Yorkshire and Derbyshire area.
