For 30 years Linaker has specialised in the creation and maintenance of tailor-made business environments. Having shaped workspaces for a wide range of businesses across the country, Linaker’s heritage lies in our ability to design and regulate unique spaces that truly work.
Linaker was founded upon three core values: trust, reliability and care. We are not just a service provider, rather an essential part of our clients’ architecture and, ultimately, an extension of your business, a part of one team.
The last couple of years has seen Linaker grow exponentially and 2026 has started in much the same vein. Our client base continues to grow month on month and as a result we are now looking for a Purchase Ledger Operative to join our Finance team.
We are strengthening our Finance team and are looking for a dependable Purchase Ledger Operative to join our Oxted office. This is a hands-on Accounts Payable role in a busy, growing facilities-management business, processing supplier and subcontractor invoices and helping ensure costs are recorded accurately and suppliers are paid correctly and on time.
The role combines traditional Purchase Ledger work with job-level processing in Joblogic. You will work with the Purchase Ledger Team Lead and Manager to manage invoice queues, maintain accurate statuses, resolve routine queries, reconcile supplier statements and support payment runs and month-end.
Our finance processes and systems are developing, so this is also an opportunity to help build a more consistent, efficient and well-controlled Purchase Ledger function.
What You Will Be Responsible for….
· Enter job-related invoices into Joblogic and the finance system.
· Check invoice details, VAT, jobs, purchase orders, worksheets, coding, approvals and supporting information.
· Update invoice, purchase-order and relevant job statuses so the current position is visible and accurate.
· Monitor shared invoice queues and route documents and queries to the correct owner.
· Respond to routine supplier queries and provide copy invoices, remittances or status updates where appropriate.
· Obtain and reconcile supplier statements and follow up missing invoices, credits and unresolved items.
· Support scheduled and ad-hoc payment-run preparation.
· Maintain query, approval and unentered-invoice trackers and escalate overdue or unusual items.
· Complete month-end processing and evidence by the agreed timetable.
· Follow financial controls
· Support process improvements, workflow automation and implementation of a future finance system.
· Good attention to detail and confidence checking invoices and supporting documentation.
· Comfort using Excel, email, shared folders and finance systems.
· Ability to organise work around daily, payment-run and month-end deadlines.
· Clear and professional communication with suppliers and colleagues.
· A dependable approach: you complete work accurately, follow actions through and escalate when something does not look right.
