Finance and Admin Assistant in Gateshead - Paul Card Recruitment Ltd

You've got some experience in accounts payable. You can process invoices, reconcile statements, deal with supplier queries and understand how the full process works.

But now you're ready to build on it.

This Finance & Administration Assistant role allows you to do exactly that. You'll join a small finance team within an established, award-winning civil engineering business, where you'll take responsibility for the day-to-day purchase ledger while gaining exposure to month-end and the wider finance function.

What you'll be doing:

• Processing supplier invoices, credit notes and expenses.
• Matching invoices to POs and delivery documentation.
• Reconciling supplier statements.
• Resolving PO discrepancies with the buying team.
• Processing company credit cards.
• Responding to finance queries.
• Supporting month-end and wider finance administration.

What's in it for you:

• Salary up to £30,000, depending on experience.
• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays.
• Training and development opportunities.
• The chance to broaden your experience beyond purchase ledger.
• Exposure to month-end and the wider finance function.

What you'll need:

• Previous purchase ledger, accounts payable or similar finance experience.
• Strong attention to detail and financial accuracy.
• Confidence communicating with suppliers and colleagues.
• Good organisation skills and a willingness to learn.
• Sage experience would be useful, but isn't essential.

This is a full-time, office-based role.
