• Responding to supplier payment queries, advising on payment dates and reconciling supplier statements.
• Creating new supplier accounts in line with company policy.
• Any other duties/project work requested by your manager such as VAT return creation, credit card statement posting, petty cash reconciliation, and covering sales invoicing.

What we want from you:
