We are seeking a detail-oriented and reliable Finance Assistant to take ownership of the Accounts Payable function within a growing, project and product-based business. This is a full-time, office-based role, supporting the Finance Manager and wider finance team to ensure accurate processing, strong financial control, and effective supplier relationships.

This position would suit an experienced Accounts Payable or bookkeeping professional who values structure, accuracy, and working within clearly defined financial processes.

Key responsibilities

The role is responsible for the end-to-end Accounts Payable process, including the accurate and timely processing of supplier invoices, correct cost and VAT coding in line with UK requirements, and maintaining clear audit trails. You will reconcile supplier statements, resolve discrepancies, respond promptly to supplier queries, and prepare regular payment runs in accordance with agreed schedules.

You will also complete weekly bank reconciliations, ensure business card receipts are captured and reconciled, support month-end close activities including accruals, and assist with budget reporting and variance analysis as required. The role involves working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure purchase orders are reviewed, closed where appropriate, and reflected accurately in the accounts.

You will have proven experience in an Accounts Payable or bookkeeping role and be comfortable working with financial systems and structured processes. A high level of attention to detail is essential, along with strong organisational skills and the ability to manage deadlines effectively.

You will be proactive in identifying and resolving issues, communicate clearly and professionally with suppliers and colleagues, and be comfortable working in a fast-paced office environment. A disciplined, methodical approach and a willingness to contribute to continuous improvement within the finance function are important.

Other tasks and duties within the finance team, but outside the accounts payable function may be included.

What we offer

This is a stable, permanent role within a supportive finance team, offering clear responsibilities, defined processes, and the opportunity to play a key part in maintaining financial accuracy and control within the business.
