Are you looking to start or develop your career in finance?

We’re working with an organisation in East Sussex that is looking for a Junior Finance / Accounts Payable Specialist to join their team on a temp-to-perm basis.

This would suit a recent Graduate or someone with some previous office or finance experience who is keen to build their knowledge of accounts payable and develop a career within finance.

You’ll support the finance team with the day-to-day processing of invoices and general accounts payable tasks.

Your responsibilities will include

  • Processing invoices onto the finance system
  • Checking invoices are correct and have the relevant approvals
  • Matching invoices to purchase orders where required
  • Helping keep supplier records up to date
  • Assisting with supplier payments
  • Responding to straightforward supplier queries
  • Helping resolve invoice or payment discrepancies
  • Filing and maintaining finance records
  • Using Excel and the finance system to update and check information
  • Supporting the wider finance team with general finance administration

You’ll be given support as you learn the processes, so this is a good opportunity for someone who wants to build their finance experience rather than someone who already knows everything.

  • What we’re looking for
  • You don't need extensive accounts payable experience. We’re looking for someone who is:
  • Interested in developing a career in finance
  • Ideally has some experience in an office, finance or administration environment
  • Comfortable working with numbers and basic financial information
  • Confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
  • Accurate and organised
  • Comfortable communicating with colleagues and suppliers
  • Able to manage their workload and meet deadlines
  • Reliable and willing to learn
  • Happy working as part of a team

Previous accounts payable or purchase ledger experience would be useful, but attitude, attention to detail and a willingness to learn are just as important.

What's on offer?

  • £26,000 - £28,000
  • Temp to permanent opportunity
  • East Sussex location
  • Full training and support
  • Opportunity to develop your finance knowledge and experience
  • The chance to progress within a wider finance function
