Job description

Interim Finance Officer (5 days in office)

Are you an experienced Transactional Finance professional looking for a hands-on interim role? Do you thrive in manually intensive processes and have a keen eye for detail? Do you prefer to work full time in a bright and welcoming office, instead of remote working?

My client, which is based in Southwest London and working full time from the office, is seeking an Interim Finance Officer to join their team on an initial three-to-six month contract to support with a backlog of invoices and the high expectations of a demanding client base. This role requires a detail-oriented individual with strong transactional finance experience to manage manual invoice processing and supplier payments in a fast-paced, detail-oriented role, under the guidance of a supportive, calm and friendly line manager.

Key responsibilities include:

• Processing invoices manually, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
• Reconciling information in Excel and maintaining clear audit trails of invoice processing.
• Communicating with suppliers, addressing queries, and building positive relationships.
• Preparing payment runs for supplier payments, ensuring timely and accurate processing.
• Maintaining purchase and sales ledgers, supporting account transactions, and performing bank reconciliations.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work as part of a friendly and hard-working team that values collaboration and in-office engagement. The role is based in a bright and open office in Southwest London, where you’ll work alongside colleagues five days per week.

To be considered, please meet the following criteria:

• Significant experience in transactional finance, particularly in Accounts Payable.
• A proven ability to excel in manually intensive processes without the support of automated systems.
• Strong Excel skills for reconciling and tracking financial data.
• Excellent attention to detail, with a track record of maintaining thorough audit trails.
• A proactive approach to identifying and implementing improvements in transactional processes.

This is an immediate requirement, and applications will be reviewed as they are received. Don’t miss the chance to make an impact in this critical interim role.
