Job description

Finance Assistant / Accounts Payable Clerk

We're a fast growing, global organization on the lookout for a Finance Assistant to join our Global Finance Team. If you're detail oriented and thrive in a fast paced environment we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing...

Reporting to our Finance Manager in the UK, you'll manage day to day accounts payable and procurement processes across our US and Canada entities, and support credit control for our US and Canadian clients.

You'll receive, validate and code supplier invoices and credit notes, matching them to purchase orders where necessary, and make sure the correct entity, cost center, tax treatment and currency are applied to every transaction. You'll resolve invoice queries with requesters and suppliers, and keep supplier accounts and master data accurate and up to date.

You'll support the preparation and execution of multi-currency payment runs, process employee expense reimbursements and ad hoc payments, and monitor entity bank accounts alongside the Finance Manager to plan funding requirements.

On the procurement side, you'll help ensure purchases are properly authorized and evidenced, support supplier onboarding and compliance documentation, carry out price check and identify cost-saving opportunities, and help monitor spend against budget.

You'll reconcile supplier statements, AP sub-ledgers, bank accounts and intercompany balances across the US and Canada entities, support credit control by chasing overdue invoices and liaising with the UK Credit Controller on a consistent approach, and produce AP ageing, cash outflow forecasts and payment summaries for the Finance Manager.

You'll also support month end and year end close with accruals, reconciliations, maintain KPI reporting, assist with audit requests, and help identify process improvements.

Who are we?

At J&J Global Fulfilment we help hundreds of eCommerce brands grow and scale globally. Our team is fast, supportive and proud of the work we do. We believe in teamwork, respect, safety, and celebrating success together. Following a merger at the end of 2025 with QLS Group, we are building on our established presence in the UK, Europe and the USA.

Why work for us?

• Health, dental, vision with generous employer premium
• Company paid BasicCare telehealth, legal, financial and counselling
• Above average paid time off plus paid sick time
• Team lunches, parties and events
• Mental health first aiders to provide support when you may need it

Who we're looking for...

• Previous experience in an Accounts Payable role, or similar, ideally at least 2-3 years
• Associate's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business preferred
• A high level of attention to detail and accuracy
• A team player who works effectively with others
• Good working knowledge of Google Sheets / Excel
• NetSuite experience is a plus but not essential
• Ability to work on your own initiative and prioritize your own workload
• Excellent communication skills and a confident telephone mannet
• Able to work well under pressure

Our hiring process...

• To maintain impartiality in the selection process and prevent bias from influencing shortlisting decisions, all applicants are systematically reviewed blindly by anonymizing resumes
• If you're shortlisted, you'll be invited to a video interview with our Talent Acquisition Manager, Steph
• You'll have an interview, or two, in person (or virtually) with our Finance Manager
• You get offered the job and start your amazing new role

You'll work in a warehouse office environment, mainly at a desk using a computer, keyboard, and phone. Some light physical activity may be required.
