You'll support and coordinate the day-to-day work of their Accounts Payable and Receivable functions, while assisting with treasury tasks and data clean-up activities. You won't be managing the team formally but will act as a go-to person for queries, guidance, and continuity.

* Maintain accurate vendor records and ensure policy-aligned payments

* Provide support and cover for the Accounts Payable Coordinator

Accounts Receivable

* Monitor customer accounts and support timely collections

* Review sales orders and invoice conversion

* Reconcile donation and sales income (e.g. café and LSC takings)

* Provide cover while the AR Coordinator focuses on database preparations

Treasury & Reconciliations

* Assist with daily cash flow and banking

* Prepare and review cash forecasts

* Monitor bank reconciliations

* Support month-end balance sheet reconciliations, including payroll (desirable)

Project & Data Work

* Support data clean-up and preparation activities ahead of year-end

* Assist in transitioning AR data to their new contracts and fees database

Skills and Qualifications

* You're experienced in transactional finance operations and enjoy taking the lead to keep things moving.

* You bring a proactive, methodical approach and are confident guiding others while staying hands-on.

* Experience with AP, AR, and reconciliations is key, and an eye for data accuracy will serve you well.

* You'll be joining a friendly, mission-driven team who are passionate about what they do-so they're looking for someone equally committed, supportive, and flexible.
