My main role was the management of the purchase ledger. I processed all invoices and credit notes received and checked statements and remittances daily. In addition, I maintained the cash book by posting all payments and receipts onto Sage and ensured sufficient funds were in the main bank account at all times. I prepared and processed all payments to suppliers. I performed monthly bank reconciliations as well as tracking and analysing costs. I also assisted with raising sales invoices when needed.

I was responsible for organising and booking regional and national campaigns. As well as liaising with marketing companies to obtain the best price. I was solely in charge of obtaining all references and DBS checks for candidates. I helped with recruitment including conducting telephone interviews and being part of the selections days we held. The selection days included assessing candidates and promoting the company by giving various presentations. Within my role in recruitment, I was required to monitor the level of staff to ensure we had the correct number of trained persons on site. This demanded a very high level of attention to detail. I also issued large numbers of contracts and ensured these were correct.

My position was equally split between managing the sales ledger and assisting with management accounts. My responsibilities included accruals and prepayments, analysis of variances at month end, raising all sales invoices, analysing and reconciling charges, dealing with customer queries and credit control. I was also responsible for assisting with budget preparation and monitoring. I assisted with preparing and posting journals at month end. I have a strong knowledge of accruals and prepayments and focused on these areas and well as other management account tasks as needed. I have three years experience with assisting audit preparation. These activities included reconciling fixed assets and depreciation for the year, producing turnover analysis, deferring and accruing cost and income.
