This is a great opportunity for someone with Accounts Payable experience who enjoys working in a busy environment, building relationships with suppliers and being part of a team that is always looking for ways to improve how things are done.

Finance Administrator (AP & AR)

The role will primarily focus on purchase ledger and Accounts Payable, with the opportunity to broaden your experience across sales ledger, credit control and retentions.

What you'll be doing:

• Processing supplier and subcontractor invoices
• Managing purchase ledger activity
• Setting up new supplier accounts and maintaining existing details
• Building strong relationships with suppliers
• Managing e-invoicing and invoice approvals
• Reconciling supplier statements
• Processing payment runs
• Handling credit notes, refunds and supplier queries
• Supporting with sales ledger, credit control and other finance duties

• At least 1 year's Accounts Payable experience
• Strong attention to detail and organisation
• Confidence managing multiple priorities and deadlines
• Good problem-solving and communication skills
• Someone comfortable working independently as well as part of a team
• Experience within construction would be beneficial, but isn't essential
• Studying towards an accountancy qualification would be advantageous, and there is support available to continue your studies

The flexibility

This position can be offered on either a full-time or part-time basis, making it a great option for someone looking for a role that can work around their circumstances.

Full-time hours are 41.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with an earlier finish on Fridays.

If you're looking for a hands-on finance role where you can bring your existing AP experience while continuing to develop across a wider range of accounts responsibilities, I'd love to hear from you.
