Our Company
Doocey Group is a family-run utility and civil engineering contractor with over 40 years’ experience built on strong, Black Country values. We’ve experienced significant growth over the past 10 years which we’ve achieved through consistently delivering high quality work on behalf of our clients, including National Grid and South Staffordshire Water. We pride ourselves on the strength of our relationship with our clients and subcontractors and despite operating in a very fast-paced and often challenging industry, we will soon register a turnover of £100m, a significant milestone for the organisation. If you’re looking to join a business that values hard work, loyalty and ambition, you’ll feel right at home here.
The Role
As a Purchase Ledger Clerk, you will be responsible for managing and maintaining the Group’s accounts payable systems and processes. You will ensure that all supplier invoices are processed, recorded accurately, and paid within agreed timelines. The role involves working closely with suppliers, internal departments and maintaining excellent stakeholder relationships. The role involves the processing of a high volume of emails and invoices, with several signatures required across departments for each invoice. This is a critical position for the business, where no two days look the same and day plans are often changed and rearranged at the last minute.
Responsibilities
- Processing a high volume of invoices through a multi-step approval process
- Managing multiple signature requirements at various stages of the ledger workflow
- Handling a large volume of supplier queries with patience, persistence and attention to detail
- Reconciling supplier statements and resolving discrepancies efficiently
- Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records despite frequent interruptions and competing priorities
- Working closely with colleagues across departments to ensure approvals, clarification and escalations are completed
- Receive all supplier invoices and code them against the correct company, department or contract
- Match invoices with their receipts and obtain the required authorisation for invoice clearance
- Follow up queries on a weekly basis, ensuring invoices are approved in a timely manner
- Support and process supplier queries, working with stakeholders within other departments where necessary
- Work towards the processing of payments to meet suppliers requested terms and conditions
- Work within tight deadlines for weekly processes, ensuring all information is accurate and completed within the required finance SLA’s
- Maintain accurate purchase ledger accounts and digital records, including payment terms, bank details and credit limits
