• - Process a high volume of purchase-order and non-purchase-order invoices, checking coding, approvals and ERP postings.
• - Investigate supplier queries and resolve pricing, quantity and documentation differences with operational teams.
• - Reconcile supplier statements and review outstanding goods-received-not-invoiced items.
• - Prepare payment runs, upload banking files and record payments in line with established controls.
• - Maintain supplier records, verify bank information and support appropriate onboarding checks.
• - Assist with month-end activity and provide accurate information for audit requests.

A sound understanding of purchase-order matching, supplier reconciliations, GRNI and payment runs is important. You should also be confident using Excel, including pivot tables and lookup functions, and able to organise a demanding workload with accuracy and limited supervision.

This opportunity would suit a collaborative and detail-focused AP professional who enjoys resolving problems and improving the way finance processes operate.
