Job description

We are recruiting an Accounts Payable Controller for a permanent position within a busy finance team in Slough. The role offers a salary of £35,000-£38,000, a 37-hour Monday-to-Friday working week and the option to work from home two days per week after successful completion of probation.

The opportunity

This is a hands-on position with responsibility across the full supplier-payment cycle. You will help maintain accurate records, keep payments moving to schedule and provide a reliable point of contact for suppliers and colleagues across the business.

What you will be doing

• 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.
• Contribute ideas and user feedback for process improvements, system upgrades and greater standardisation.

About you

You will have practical accounts payable or invoice-to-pay experience gained in a high-volume environment. 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.
