Accounts Payable Specialist

Letchworth Garden City

£32,000-£35,000

Hybrid (3 days a week in the Letchworth Garden office, 2 from home)

Permanent

StormX Recruitment is supporting a growing business in Letchworth Garden City with the appointment of an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist. The environment is extremely collaborative, supportive and forward thinking so would suit a candidate with a similar style.

This is a hands-on role offering genuine ownership of the AP function within a busy, high-volume environment. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to review and streamline existing processes and play an important role in the implementation of new business-related software, expected to go live later this year.

The role

You will take ownership of the AP ledger across several entities, while supporting the wider finance team with month-end, reporting and reconciliations.

Key responsibilities include:

• Processing a high volume of invoices using AP Automation software
• Payment runs and AP forecasting
• Bank reconciliations and credit card postings
• Supporting procurement and wider business queries
• Ownership of cost of sales and overhead general ledger codes (training where required)
• Balance sheet reconciliations and month-end reporting (training where required)
• CIS review and recording (training where required)
• Supporting year-end audit requirements and auditor queries - relating to AP (training where required)
• Assisting with the implementation and integration of new software (training where required)
• Reviewing and improving existing AP processes
• Supporting Senior Finance Managers and the wider business with AP queries as required

We're looking for an experienced AP professional who is comfortable working in a high-volume, growing environment and is confident taking ownership of their workload.

You'll ideally have:

• Solid Accounts Payable experience
• Strong attention to detail and good organisational skills
• The confidence to manage a busy ledger and competing priorities
• A proactive approach to identifying and improving processes
• Good communication skills and the ability to deal with queries across the business
• An interest in systems and process improvement

The system implementation makes this an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to do more than simply process invoices and would like to have a genuine input into how finance uses new technology.
