Base pay range
There are two types of Accounts Payable people.
The ones who just process invoices blindly typing numbers into a system like a caffeinated robot.
And the ones who actually solve problems. The ones who see a dodgy PO, chase it, fix it, and stop it happening again.
This company are looking for the second type.
You'll already know your way around SAP (if you've never used it, this isn't the role for you, you need to navigate T-codes in your sleep).
Ideally, you'll also have experience dealing with manufacturing, so you understand that "invoice on hold" can mean missing goods receipts, pricing mismatches, or a forklift that never turned up.
This isn't just about typing invoices into a system. It's about
What you'll be doing
- Reviewing and processing PO-backed invoices using a proper 3-way match.
- Reconciling vendor accounts and resolving invoice discrepancies.
- Collaborating with procurement, plant admins and accountants to fix issues.
- Reviewing and entering direct invoices into SAP and Basware.
- Managing the AP mailbox and handling supplier/internal queries.
- Distributing invoices for coding and approvals.
- Supporting month-end close (clearings, accruals, GR/IR clean-up).
What you'll need
- Solid AP experience.
- SAP experience (essential).
- Background in manufacturing AP (strongly preferred).
- Excel skills and attention to detail that borders on obsessive.
- Strong communication skills - you'll be talking to vendors, buyers, and plant staff regularly.
- The ability to juggle deadlines without losing your head.
What you'll get
- A salary between £28-32k depending on experience.
- 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (you don't live to work).
- Private medical cover (more than just a fruit bowl and a flu jab).
- A generous pension contribution (the grown-up kind, not the 3% "if you\'re lucky" kind).
The company's global, but this role is based in Warrington and you'll be working from the offices.
If you're the sort of AP specialist who gets a kick out of fixing the mess others create, instead of being the one creating it, then this is probably the right role for you.
