Accounts Payable Co-Ordinator
Location: London (4 days on-site)
Salary: Up to £33,000 per annum
Contract: 6 months FTC
We are partnering with a fast-growing, design-led workspace provider seeking an Accounts Payable Co-Ordinator to join their finance team during a period of growth and transformation.
This is a hands-on role within a dynamic, multi-site organisation operating across the UK (and with a German portfolio). You will take ownership of a defined portion of a high-volume AP ledger across multiple legal entities, drive process consistency and control, and contribute to automation and continuous improvement initiatives.
About the Role
As Accounts Payable Co-Ordinator you will report into the Accounts Payable Supervisor and play a key operational role in day-to-day AP delivery. You will process and validate invoices, manage supplier relationships, support payment runs, and help maintain a clean, well-controlled ledger while identifying opportunities for automation and AI-supported process improvement.
Key Responsibilities
- Own a defined portion of the AP ledger across multiple legal entities, including end-to-end processing, query resolution and supplier management.
- Process and validate PO and non-PO invoices, applying three-way matching against purchase orders and goods receipts where applicable.
- Operate within agreed delegation of authority and approval routing, ensuring accurate coding and entity allocation.
- Lead supplier statement reconciliations on the largest exposures and resolve price, quantity and delivery discrepancies by liaising with Procurement, Property, Operations and suppliers.
- Act as the AP point of contact for the German portfolio, managing supplier relationships and day-to-day processing (working knowledge of German VAT, invoicing requirements and SEPA payments required; ability to correspond in German preferred).
- Support weekly and ad-hoc payment runs in coordination with Treasury.
- Manage critical and high-value vendor accounts, maintain supplier master data quality (including bank detail controls), and drive down the aged creditor position.
- Contribute to the AP control framework (duplicate payment detection, statement coverage, AP-to-GL reconciliation) and support intercompany processing.
- Contribute to weekly AP reporting and represent AP in cross-functional forums.
- Identify automation candidates across the procure-to-pay workflow and take a practical interest in applying AI tools to recurring AP tasks.
- Support month-end close with a clean AP position, accruals and documented exceptions.
