Purchase Ledger Controller

The opportunity

This role is based in the Harrogate office and sits within the Finance team. It is a broad purchase ledger position where you will take ownership of the full purchase-to-pay cycle, act as a main contact for suppliers and internal colleagues, and assist the Financial Controller with the company fixed asset register. The position offers exposure to management accounting and room to build a long-term finance career.

NEOM Wellbeing operates in a fast-moving environment, so the ideal person will combine accuracy with a willingness to improve how work gets done. You should be comfortable suggesting better methods, whether through automation, stronger use of systems, or simpler processes, and helping put those ideas into practice.

About the company

NEOM Wellbeing is a B Corp certified business focused on improving the wellbeing of communities and the planet. The company has been recognised by The Sunday Times as one of the Best Places to Work for two years in a row. It also places strong emphasis on looking after its own people and living its values day to day.

Key duties

• Handle incoming purchase invoices through automated systems, making sure coding is correct across nominal codes, departments and VAT rates.
• Confirm invoices have the right approvals in line with company policy and sort out any mismatches.
• Set up and run supplier payment batches, keeping payments accurate, timely and clearly supported.
• Match supplier statements across different portals and platforms.
• Serve as the first point of contact for supplier questions and deal with issues quickly and professionally.
• Monitor aged creditor reports and investigate overdue or unallocated items.
• Carry out month-end reconciliations for the purchase ledger.
• Help maintain the fixed asset register with the Financial Controller.
• Look for ways to improve invoice handling, payment controls and reporting by using automation and technology more effectively.

What the employer is looking for

You need at least one year of purchase ledger experience, along with the confidence to manage complex supplier accounts accurately. Strong knowledge of VAT rates and reclaim rules is important, as is clear communication with suppliers and internal teams.

You should be well organised, able to work on your own, and capable of prioritising tasks when under pressure. Strong Excel skills and comfort using business systems are essential. The role also calls for someone who understands the end-to-end purchase-to-pay process, can be the main finance contact for the business, and naturally spots opportunities to improve inefficient processes.

A genuine interest in a fast-paced, start-up style environment is important, along with enthusiasm for the beauty and wellness industry and the NEOM brand.
