Job description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable Specialist to join a major financial services organisation on an initial six-month contract, with potential for extension.

This is a hands-on role combining day-to-day transactional finance with involvement in a key finance systems project.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Resolving a significant AP/AR invoice backlog
• Managing and investigating invoice and payment queries
• Supporting Accounts Payable and ideally, Accounts Receivable processes
• Participating in finance systems testing and UAT
• Supporting NetSuite testing and implementation activities
• Testing Pleo, ZoneCapture and ZoneApprovals
• Supporting project cutover and go-live activities
• Providing post-go-live support during the Hypercare period
• Working closely with Finance and the wider project team to identify and resolve issues

We are looking for:

• Strong hands-on Accounts Payable and AR experience
• Previous involvement in an ERP/finance systems implementation, upgrade or migration
• Experience of UAT, testing, cutover or post-go-live support
• Strong problem-solving and reconciliation skills
• NetSuite experience would be a significant advantage
• Experience of Pleo, ZoneCapture or ZoneApprovals would also be useful, but is not essential

The assignment will initially run for six months, with potential for extension.

The role is hybrid, with some attendance required at the client's offices in Swindon, Wiltshire, although there is flexibility around the precise working pattern.

Rate: approximately £300-£350 per day inside IR35, depending upon experience and NetSuite expertise.

This would particularly suit an experienced AP/AR professional who enjoys combining hands-on transactional finance tasks with finance systems and project work.
