Accounts Payable Assistant

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Accounts Payable Administrator to join a well-established, financially stable and growing family-owned business with a strong reputation for looking after its people.

With a history spanning almost 80 years and continued year-on-year growth, the business offers the stability of an established organisation alongside the opportunity to be part of an evolving finance function. Significant investment is currently being made in systems, technology and process improvement, creating an exciting time to join the team.

You'll play an important role in ensuring the accounts payable function operates accurately, efficiently and to a high standard, while working alongside a supportive and experienced finance team.

What You'll Be Doing

Processing a high volume of supplier and subcontractor invoices accurately and efficiently.
Checking invoices, coding and approvals and ensuring appropriate financial controls are followed.
Reconciling supplier statements and resolving queries and discrepancies.
Supporting regular supplier payment runs and maintaining strong supplier relationships.
Assisting with month-end close and related reconciliations.
Working collaboratively with operational teams, suppliers and the wider finance function.
Identifying opportunities to improve processes, reduce manual work and increase efficiency.
Supporting the ongoing implementation of new systems and automation.What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with previous Accounts Payable or Purchase Ledger experience who takes real pride in accuracy and understands the importance of good financial controls.

Why Join?

This is more than simply an invoice-processing role. You'll be joining a business that is growing, investing and actively looking at better ways of working.

The finance function is going through significant systems and process improvements, with automation expected to dramatically reduce manual processing. This creates the opportunity to develop your skills, take on greater responsibility and become involved in more value-added finance activities over time.

Alongside a competitive salary, you'll benefit from a hybrid working arrangement, annual salary reviews, enhanced benefits and genuine long-term progression opportunities.

If you're looking for a role where you can build a career rather than simply process invoices, this is an excellent opportunity to join a successful business at an exciting stage of its growth
