Summarise, check, and consolidate weekly timesheets.

Accounts Knowledge: Past experience with purchase ledger, sales ledger, and cash posting and allocation.
Software Skills: Microsoft Office with strong MS Excel skills (especially CSV imports/data manipulation). Knowledge of Sage 50 Payroll and Sage 200 Accounts is highly desirable, as is experience of using on-line banking applications.
Core Attributes: Exceptional attention to detail, tight time management, and absolute discretion with sensitive data.
Industry Insight: Experience within the transport or logistics sector is a bonus, but not essential.
