Job Description

Your Opportunity:

This position will give you career progression, stability, a great team, 17.5% leave loading, WFH, parking onsite, flexible start / finish, and industry discounts.

You'll report into an experienced Finance Controller who is known for being approachable, supportive and invested in the development of her team. You'll be joining a finance function of six people, giving you the opportunity to work closely with experienced finance professionals while maintaining ownership of your own responsibilities.

Many Finance Officer roles focus on either AP or AR, whereas this role gives you exposure to both, allowing you to broaden your skillset while becoming a valued member of a close-knit finance team. You'll be trusted to manage your workload, given flexibility around your working arrangements and supported by leaders who genuinely care about creating a positive working environment.

What You'll Do:

You’ll take ownership of the Accounts Payable function from invoice receipt through to payment, including invoice processing, coding, supplier reconciliations, payment runs and supplier relationship management.

On the Accounts Receivable side, you’ll manage invoicing, allocations, collections, debtor reconciliations and customer account queries while working closely with stakeholders across the business.

Beyond transactional finance, you’ll also support month-end reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, audit requirements and process improvement initiatives, providing excellent exposure across the wider finance function.

About You:

• At least 2 years' experience across end-to-end AP and AR
• Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Strong systems skills and confidence using Excel
• Experience with NetSuite will be highly regarded, although not essential
