• Managing prepayments and chasing outstanding invoices

What you will need:

• At least 1-2 years' experience in a similar accounts payable, purchase ledger, or finance admin role
• Experience liaising directly with suppliers
• Familiarity with Xero (or similar finance systems) is desirable
• Basic Excel skills
• Training towards AAT (any level) would be a bonus
• Happy to work in a team that's friendly, casual, and open to both steady and ambitious personalities

What you will get:

• 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays), plus your birthday off
