- Provide accurate AP information to support cash flow forecasting
- Ensure VAT and other relevant tax requirements are correctly applied
- Liaise with suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve queries
- Support audit requirements and provide relevant documentation
- Identify opportunities to improve AP processes, controls and automation
About you:

- Good understanding of the full AP and purchase to pay process
- Experience working within a multi-entity or international environment
- Experience with NetSuite and Precoro would be highly desirable
- Strong Excel skills
- Good understanding of VAT and AP controls
- High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
- Confident dealing with suppliers and internal stakeholders
- A proactive approach to resolving issues and improving processes
