Accounts Payable Clerk

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
