• Process supplier payment runs and reconcile statements
• Maintain purchase ledger records in line with internal controls
• Support internal and external audit processes
• Assist in improving financial systems and processes

Skills & Experience Required:

• Part-qualified (ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent)
• 2+ years’ experience in a finance role with exposure to both transactional and reporting duties
• Strong Excel skills (e.g. formulas, sorting/filtering; VLOOKUP and pivot tables advantageous)
• Familiarity with finance software, ideally Xero and P2D (or similar systems)
• Excellent time management and organisational skills
• High level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Professional and confident communicator

Desirable:

• Experience working in a multi-entity or high-volume invoice environment
• Exposure to expense management tools (e.g. Concur, Expensify, ApprovalMax)
• AAT qualified or previous experience progressing toward a professional qualification

Benefits:

• 20 days holiday + bank holidays
• Company pension scheme
• Study support (where applicable)
• Hybrid working (2–3 days in office)
• Staff discounts on products and services
• Friendly and supportive finance team with opportunities for growth
