About The Role

Acting as a trusted point of contact for finance-related queries, you’ll collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, ensuring the smooth delivery of accurate, timely financial information in line with the Group Finance Calendar.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is happy to build strong foundational experience across Purchase Ledger and Accounts Payable, while also developing broader exposure to Management Accounting responsibilities.
The role offers clear progression, with the opportunity to take on more complex tasks such as month-end reporting, reconciliations, and acting up within the team as your experience grows.
What does the role involve day to day?
- Managing invoice processing across a structured workflow
- Working closely with Accounts Payable to manage supplier queries, resolve discrepancies, and support smooth processing
- Acting as a key point of contact for internal stakeholders and suppliers, building strong working relationships
- Managing weekly bank postings and completing month-end bank reconciliations, ensuring balances are accurately reported to Group Finance
- Performing monthly intercompany reconciliations, investigating and resolving discrepancies
- Supporting month-end activities, including accruals, prepayments, and journal postings
- Contributing to more complex month-end processes as experience develops, including reconciliation work and supporting reporting requirements
- Raising manual sales invoices on a weekly basis, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
- Completing external supplier statement reconciliations to ensure accounts remain accurate and up to date
- Supporting continuous process improvement, particularly within AP and transactional finance activities
