About the Role
A well established organisation in the Midlands is looking for an Accounts Payable Assistant to join its finance team on a temporary basis. This is a great opportunity for an experienced accounts payable professional to add real value to a busy finance function, with full training and support provided from day one.

You will work closely with the Accounts Payable Team Leader, getting up to speed with the invoice workflow and building a clear understanding of who is responsible for approvals across the business. Invoice volume is manageable, and the focus is on accuracy and building strong working relationships within the finance team, rather than being thrown in at the deep end.

Key Responsibilities

• Processing purchase invoices with accurate coding, essential to this role
• Running supplier payment runs in line with agreed schedules
• Completing supplier statement reconciliations
• Working within a system that feeds directly into Sage
• Building an understanding of the invoice approval workflow and liaising with the relevant approvers
• Supporting the wider accounts payable team with day to day queries and ad hoc tasks

What We Are Looking For

• Strong invoice coding experience is essential
• Confidence picking up a new workflow and understanding internal approval processes
• Some commercial awareness would be an advantage
• A proactive approach with a genuine interest in the role and a good, can do attitude
• Experience working with Sage, or a similar finance system, is beneficial

Why Apply

• Hybrid working, with 2 to 3 days a week in the office and some flexibility around this
• Standard hours of 9.00am to 5.15pm, with an hour for lunch
• A supportive team environment with genuine time built in for training and handover
• No additional compliance checks required, so a quick and straightforward onboarding process
• A real possibility of the assignment moving to a permanent position
