Accounts Payable Manager jobs in United Kingdom

Artemis Human Capital is delighted to be working in partnership with this thriving and growing NI business as they expand their finance team. They want to find a proactive, detail-driven Senior Accounts Payable Specialist to join their collaborative central finance function.

This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a role where you’ll take ownership of your work, support both operational and construction activities, and build strong relationships with suppliers and colleagues across the business.

You’ll be a key player in the finance team, responsible for ensuring accurate, timely processing of invoices, payments and reconciliations. It’s a role where attention to detail really matters, and where you’ll have the chance to contribute to process improvements and work closely with multiple teams.

This position covers both day-to-day Accounts Payable duties and some specialist work supporting multiple Group divisions, so variety is guaranteed.

• Reviewing and processing supplier invoices, credit notes and expenses.
• Matching invoices to POs and delivery notes and resolving any discrepancies quickly.
• Preparing weekly and monthly payment runs.
• Reconciling supplier statements and maintaining accurate records.
• Supporting month-end processes including accruals, prepayments and reconciliations.
• Providing documentation for audits and supporting internal controls.
• Liaising with managers, site teams and suppliers to keep everything running smoothly.
• Processing subcontractor invoices in line with CIS requirements.
• Applying VAT Reverse Charge rules and verifying subcontractor status.
• Working with Contracts and QS teams to ensure costs are allocated correctly.

• Minimum of 2+ years’ current experience in a purchase ledger / accounts payable role.
• Previous experience in a construction environment.
• Knowledge of CIS rules and VAT Reverse Charge accounting.
• Confidence using accounting software and Excel.
• A methodical, accurate approach and the ability to meet deadlines in a busy, multi-entity environment.
• Excellent communication skills, both with colleagues and external suppliers.
• Bonus points if you’re working towards an AAT qualification or have experience in a fast-paced, multi-site organisation.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a stable, growing organisation with a supportive team and a varied role that spans both operational and construction finance. You’ll be part of a team that values efficiency, collaboration, and continuous improvement — while giving you the space to make the role your own.
