I’m excited to be partnering with a growing business based in Hollywoodtown Center to recruit for an Accounts Payable Assistant on a 6 month contract! This is a genuinely social, close-knit finance team who work hard and know how to have a good time together — think lunches out, drinks after work, and a workplace that doesn’t feel like just a job. You’ll be getting stuck into a large ledger covering full end-to-end AP, from processing through to supplier queries, so no two days will look the same. This role starts as a 6 month contract, but there’s every chance it could go permanent for the right person!
The ideal candidate for this role will have around 6-12 months’ experience in Accounts Payable or a broader finance admin role, and be looking for the next step to properly kickstart their career in a professional, growing environment. You’ll need to be confident communicating with suppliers over the phone and via Teams, and comfortable managing a high volume of invoices without letting the detail slip. This team is sociable and outgoing, so you’ll fit right in if you enjoy being part of a workplace that does things together outside of the desk too. We’re looking for this position to start as soon as possible, so we’re ideally looking for someone who is immediately available or on a short notice period.
What You Will Be Doing:
- Taking ownership of processing a high volume of invoices onto a large ledger, making sure everything is accurate and fully supported
- Reconciling supplier statements and getting to the bottom of any discrepancies before they become a problem
- Resolving supplier queries efficiently, so nothing sits unresolved for long
- Building genuine working relationships with suppliers through regular phone and Teams communication
- Supporting payment runs and making sure suppliers are paid accurately and on time
- Chasing missing invoices to keep the ledger clean and up to date
- Following up outstanding POs and working with internal teams to get them resolved
- Getting fully hands-on with end-to-end AP processes, building a well-rounded skillset from day one
- Spotting and flagging any recurring issues rather than just working through the backlog blindly
- Becoming a go-to person the team can rely on as you build confidence in the role
What We Need From You:
- Someone who takes pride in their work in the form of attention to detail — you’ll be handling a large volume of invoices, so accuracy has to come naturally to you
- A confident communicator who isn’t fazed by picking up the phone to a supplier or dropping a message on Teams
- Someone who genuinely enjoys being part of a team, not just working alongside one — this is a social bunch and we want someone who’ll join in
- Around 6-12 months’ experience in AP or finance admin, with the drive to build a proper career from here rather than just tick a box
- Someone who’s organised and can juggle a few moving priorities without losing track of what matters
- A person who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do next
- Be immediately available or on a short notice period
- Someone looking for more than “just a job” — you want to grow, learn, and actually enjoy where you spend your day
What’s in It For You:
- Hybrid working
- A genuine chance to turn this contract into a permanent role
- Full exposure to end-to-end AP, setting you up brilliantly for the next stage of your finance career
- A supportive, growing business that invests in people early in their career
- A team that socialises together — lunches, drinks, the works
- Hands-on experience that goes far beyond just “processing invoices”
If this sounds like your kind of place and you think you’ve got what we’re looking for, apply now!
