This is one of those brilliant roles where the day-to-day is made up entirely of all the good parts of the job. Complex reconciliations, liaising with suppliers over the phone, on Teams or face-to-face to resolve queries on important, large accounts. Handling aged queries, investigating issues, and getting to the bottom of things that don't quite add up.
Our client is recruiting multiple Accounts Payable Assistants to join a busy Finance Operations team on an initial 3-month contract, with strong potential to go permanent for the right people. We are ideally looking for these roles to begin as soon as possible so please on apply if you are immediately available or have a short notice period.
What you'll be doing:
- Collating and preparing payment run files for review and sign-off (multiple runs weekly across the team, roughly 1–2 per person)
- Building relationships with key suppliers - regular video catch-ups, occasional on-site meetings
- Running statement reconciliations and clearing aged balances, with clear commentary on what's outstanding, why, and when it'll clear
- Chasing accounts/invoices on hold and checking for duplicate payments
- Liaising with an offshore processing team on routine manual tasks
- Flagging process improvements where you spot them — this client actively wants pushback and initiative, not just order-taking
What they're looking for:
- Solid background with accounts payable, particularly around complex reconciliations
- Confident building and holding supplier relationships, including leading meetings
- Comfortable pushing back and prioritising a high-volume, fast-paced workload
- Excellent attention to detail, particularly around how work is collated and laid out
- A fast learner with a positive, proactive attitude
- Someone who thrives with an ever-changing to-do list, every day will be different and it is likely that your 9am to-do list will look very different than your 1pm to-do list.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, and you think you have the right skill set for this then please apply now!
