We’re working with a well-established and growing business who are looking to appoint an Accounts Payable Assistant to take full ownership of their day-to-day AP and reconciliation processes. This is a key role within a busy but supportive finance function, where accuracy, accountability, and initiative are genuinely valued. This is a hands-on position where you’ll be trusted to manage the full Accounts Payable cycle — from invoice processing through to payments and reconciliations — ensuring everything is accurate, timely, and properly controlled. The role suits someone who enjoys taking ownership and seeing tasks through from start to finish, rather than simply processing and passing work on.
What you will be doing
Posting supplier invoices accurately, including stock invoices, ensuring goods received are correctly matched
Processing around 150 invoices per month across the purchase ledger
Managing the Accounts Payable inbox, ensuring queries are dealt with promptly and professionally
Raising, uploading and posting supplier payments in line with internal processes
Reconciling multiple bank accounts (GBP, USD and EUR)
Completing monthly bank reconciliations, including high-volume accounts
Reconciling credit card statements (HSBC and AMEX) on a monthly basis
Managing and reconciling supplier statements to ensure accounts are accurate and up to date
Processing employee expenses and ensuring timely submission and posting
Supporting the wider finance team with cash flow awareness by ensuring payments are prioritised appropriately
Taking initiative to follow up on outstanding queries, missing information, and discrepancies
What we’re looking for
Previous experience in an Accounts Payable or transactional finance role
Strong attention to detail and a consistent, accurate approach to processing
Confidence managing the full AP cycle, not just isolated tasks
Experience with bank and supplier reconciliations
Comfortable working across multiple currencies (GBP, USD, EUR)
A proactive mindset — someone who follows things through without needing constant direction
Strong communication skills with the ability to chase, resolve and manage queries effectively
A genuine sense of ownership over workload and responsibility
What’s on offer
Competitive salary package
Hybrid working structure (mix of office and home working)
Flexible working hours to support work-life balance
Stable and established business environment
Genuine ownership of the Accounts Payable function
Opportunity to work across multi-currency transactions and varied reconciliations
Supportive team culture where your input and initiative are valued
