StormX Recruitment is supporting a growing business in Letchworth Garden City with the appointment of an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist. The environment is extremely collaborative, supportive and forward thinking so would suit a candidate with a similar style.
This is a hands-on role offering genuine ownership of the AP function within a busy, high-volume environment. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to review and streamline existing processes and play an important role in the implementation of new business-related software, expected to go live later this year.
The role
You will take ownership of the AP ledger across several entities, while supporting the wider finance team with month-end, reporting and reconciliations.
Key responsibilities include:
*Processing a high volume of invoices using AP Automation software
*Payment runs and AP forecasting
*Bank reconciliations and credit card postings
*Supporting procurement and wider business queries
*Ownership of cost of sales and overhead general ledger codes (training where required)
*Balance sheet reconciliations and month-end reporting (training where required)
*CIS review and recording (training where required)
*Supporting year-end audit requirements and auditor queries – relating to AP (training where required)
*Assisting with the implementation and integration of new software (training where required)
*Reviewing and improving existing AP processes
*Supporting Senior Finance Managers and the wider business with AP queries as required
We’re looking for an experienced AP professional who is comfortable working in a high-volume, growing environment and is confident taking ownership of their workload.
You’ll ideally have:
*Solid Accounts Payable experience
*Strong attention to detail and good organisational skills
*The confidence to manage a busy ledger and competing priorities
*A proactive approach to identifying and improving processes
*Good communication skills and the ability to deal with queries across the business
*An interest in systems and process improvement
The system implementation makes this an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to do more than simply process invoices and would like to have a genuine input into how finance uses new technology.
