- Working closely with internal and external stakeholders, you’ll investigate and resolve payment and income queries promptly, delivering a professional and customer-focused service.
- Ensure payments and cash transactions meet internal control requirements, including segregation of duties, authorisation levels and audit standards – helping to minimise risk and ensure compliance.
- You’ll contribute to monthly KPI reporting for internal stakeholders and work closely with colleagues to review, improve and streamline Accounts Payable and banking processes.
