Ap & Treasury Manager

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and growing organisation for an experienced AP & Treasury Manager.

This is a 12 - 18 month fixed term contract so looking for people available to start on short notice.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Accounts Payable professional who is ready to take on a broader remit, combining team leadership, AP, treasury, banking, systems and process improvement.

You'll be joining an established finance function where you'll have genuine ownership of your area and the opportunity to make a difference.

The opportunity

You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the AP and treasury function, ensuring processes are efficient, accurate and delivered within agreed deadlines.

The role will include:

• Leading and developing a small finance team
• Managing the full Accounts Payable process from invoice through to payment
• Overseeing payment runs and resolving complex or urgent payment issues
• Managing supplier queries, reconciliations and creditor balances
• Supporting month-end, quarter-end and year-end processes
• Overseeing banking and treasury activities
• Supporting bank reconciliations, payment approvals and banking administration
• Maintaining strong financial controls and ensuring processes are followed
• Acting as a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
• Supporting system improvements and acting as a key user for the finance ERP
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, efficiency and automation
• Providing support across the wider finance function when required

About you

We're looking for an experienced AP professional who has progressed into a supervisory or management position and is now looking for a role with greater breadth and responsibility.

You'll ideally have:

• Strong end-to-end Accounts Payable/Purchase Ledger experience
• Previous experience managing or supervising a finance team
• Experience of payment runs, reconciliations and banking processes
• A good understanding of financial controls
• Experience using an ERP or finance system
• Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills
• The confidence to manage issues, solve problems and make decisions
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with stakeholders
• A genuine interest in improving processes and ways of working

Experience across treasury, banking administration and multi-entity environments would be advantageous, although candidates with strong AP management experience and transferable banking experience will also be considered.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond a traditional AP Manager position and develop their experience across treasury, systems, process improvement and stakeholder management.

You'll have the autonomy to make improvements, the opportunity to lead a team and the chance to broaden your finance experience within an established organisation.
