Introducing Interim Finance Leaders into the Consumer & Technology Sectors

Accounts Receivable Clerk – Initial 6 month contract

A fast-growing global consumer brand is looking for an Interim Accounts Receivable (AR) Accountant to support BAU activity across both wholesale and e-commerce channels, while also contributing to wider process and systems improvements. Reporting to the AR Manager, the role blends hands‑on receivables management with exposure to an ongoing ERP implementation, offering a broad and varied remit in a fast‑paced environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in operational finance, enjoys solving complex reconciliation challenges, and is confident working cross‑functionally to keep order‑to‑cash processes running smoothly.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the daily AR cycle: cash allocation, invoice posting, credit notes, returns processing and customer account maintenance across wholesale and e-commerce.
• Reconcile all third‑party payment platforms (Adyen, PayPal, Klarna, Zettle, Elavon), ensuring end‑to‑end accuracy from order to cash collection.
• Maintain customer master data and ensure strong control compliance.
• Resolve allocation exceptions, aged unallocated cash and partner with Credit Control to support smooth cash collection.
• Perform daily/weekly/month‑end reconciliations for AR‑related balance sheet accounts (merchant clearing, receivables, deposits, refunds, cash).
• Prepare month‑end schedules and commentary across DSO, unapplied cash and deductions.
• Support e‑commerce P&L insights around payments, refunds, chargebacks and deductions.
• Assist in maintaining audit‑ready financial records with accurate documentation.
• Contribute to ERP implementation activities: UAT, process mapping, data migration, payment/refund flow testing and user training.

Experience Sought

• Strong AR experience within fast‑paced, multi‑channel businesses (wholesale/e‑commerce desirable).
• Proven experience reconciling complex payment gateways and high‑volume cash allocation.
• Strong Excel and data‑handling capability.
• Exposure to D365 or similar ERP systems is advantageous, including involvement in process changes or UAT.
• Highly organised, analytical, and comfortable working with multiple stakeholders across finance, commercial, operations, IT and customer services.
• A continuous improvement mindset with excellent attention to detail.

If you’re immediately available or at short notice and enjoy a blend of BAU ownership and systems/process improvement, this is a great opportunity to make an impact in a high‑growth environment.
