Location: Milton Keynes | Department: Finance
Are you an Accounts Receivable professional who loves getting into the detail and improving the bigger picture?
We’re looking for a proactive, commercially minded Accounts Receivable Specialist to join our Finance team in Milton Keynes. This is more than a traditional AR role — you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end receivables process while helping drive automation, smarter reporting, and system improvements as we continue our Microsoft Dynamics journey.
You’ll work closely with Service and Operations teams, acting as a true finance business partner to improve billing accuracy, cash collection, and operational decision-making.
What you’ll be doing
* Managing the full AR cycle — invoicing, cash allocation, credit control, collections, and reconciliations
* Monitoring aged debt and building strong customer relationships to support timely payment
* Producing meaningful AR, collections, and cash flow reporting
* Driving process improvement, automation, and reporting standardisation
* Supporting the go-live and optimisation of Microsoft Dynamics from a finance perspective
* Partnering with Service & Operations teams to improve billing, resolve issues, and support business performance
What we’re looking for
* Previous experience in Accounts Receivable or a finance role
* Strong understanding of credit control, reconciliations, and AR processes
* ERP system experience (SAP preferred)
* Strong Excel skills and confidence working with data and reporting
* A proactive mindset with a passion for improving processes
* Great communication skills and confidence working cross-functionally
Bonus points for: Power BI, Power Query, finance automation exposure, or studying towards AAT, ACCA or CIMA.
Why join us?
This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a role where you can genuinely make an impact — combining hands-on Accounts Receivable ownership with process improvement, business partnering, and systems transformation.
Ready to take ownership, improve processes, and help shape smarter finance operations? We’d love to hear from you.
