A growing technology and engineering business is looking for an experienced Accounts Payable professional to join its small Finance team on a 9-month fixed-term contract.

This is a broad, hands-on role offering ownership of the AP function across multiple UK business areas, alongside responsibility for a small international entity and wider Finance Administration.

You will manage the full AP process from invoice processing through to payment and reconciliation, working closely with the wider Finance team.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing the day-to-day Accounts Payable function
• Processing supplier invoices across multiple entities
• Processing employee expenses and credit card transactions
• Preparing weekly, monthly and ad-hoc payment runs
• Managing supplier records and queries
• Supplier statement and bank reconciliations
• Investigating and resolving discrepancies
• Supporting month-end and year-end processes
• Processing sales orders
• Managing company fuel cards
• Supporting audit preparation
• Providing wider Finance Administration support when required

You will ideally have:

• Strong end-to-end Accounts Payable experience
• Experience managing payment runs
• Good reconciliation experience
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Good Excel skills
• The confidence to work independently and manage your own workload
• A proactive and adaptable approach
• Experience working within a smaller Finance team

You will join a small, close-knit Finance team within a relaxed, down-to-earth and supportive environment.

This is not a heavily structured corporate Finance function. You will be trusted to take ownership of your responsibilities, work independently and contribute ideas for improving processes.

The role would particularly suit someone who knows AP well, enjoys having responsibility and is happy to get involved beyond traditional invoice processing.

• Hybrid working, typically 3 days in the office
• Initial period predominantly office-based to support onboarding
• 8.30am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday
• Free on-site parking
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Supportive and flexible working environment
• Potential future opportunities within the Finance team

The business is keen to move quickly and is open to candidates available immediately or on a short notice period.

If you are an experienced Accounts Payable professional looking for a varied role with genuine ownership and responsibility, we would be keen to hear from you.
