Accounts Payable Clerk
Manufacturing | Fully Onsite | Permanent | West Lothian
Are you an experienced Accounts Payable professional with a background in manufacturing or supply chain-driven environments? We're working exclusively with a growing manufacturing business to appoint a detail-driven AP Clerk to join their busy Finance team on a permanent, fully site-based basis.
The Role
Working closely with the Finance Manager and the wider Finance team, you'll take ownership of a high-volume AP function — processing supplier invoices across raw materials, packaging, maintenance and services, and ensuring the smooth running of vendor payments that keep the production operation moving.
Day-to-day, you'll be performing three-way matching (invoice / PO / GRN), reconciling supplier statements, preparing monthly BACS payment runs, and liaising directly with the Procurement and Warehouse teams to resolve discrepancies. Month-end duties, including AP reporting, accruals, and aged creditor analysis will also sit within your remit.
This is a role where attention to detail genuinely matters — and where your contribution will be felt across the supply chain, not just within Finance.
What we're looking for
- Proven AP experience, ideally gained within a manufacturing, engineering, or supply chain environment
- Strong working knowledge of three-way matching
- Experience using ERP/MRP systems — Sage 200, NetSuite or similar
- Competent Excel skills; VLOOKUP and pivot tables are a bonus
- A methodical, process-driven approach with the ability to manage high volumes and competing deadline
- Calm under pressure, proactive by nature, and keen to contribute to process improvement as the business grows
What's on offer
- A varied, hands-on role at the heart of a growing manufacturing business
- A supportive Finance team with genuine scope to influence and improve AP processes
- A fully site-based position — this role is based onsite full-time
