About the Role

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Head of Transactional Finance to lead our Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), Billing and Collections functions.

Reporting into the Finance leadership team, you will be responsible for driving operational excellence across our transactional finance function. You will lead process improvements, implement automation, enhance financial controls, and develop a high-performing team while ensuring exceptional service delivery to both internal and external stakeholders.

Identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives across transactional finance.
Introduce workflow automation, OCR technology and process enhancements to reduce manual processing, eliminate backlogs and improve operational efficiency.
Improve billing efficiency, first-time invoice accuracy and invoice completeness.
Drive improvements in debt collection performance and reduce overdue balances.

Financial Controls and Governance

Ensure robust financial controls are maintained, including balance sheet reconciliations, segregation of duties and compliance with company policies.
Maintain audit readiness and support both internal and external audit requirements.
Ensure transactional finance processes comply with accounting standards and internal governance requirements.

Cash Flow Management

Support working capital objectives by ensuring efficient payment runs, effective credit control and accurate cash allocation.
Drive improvements in cash collection and reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).

Performance Management

Develop, monitor and report on key operational KPIs, including:
- Invoice processing cycle time
- Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
- Billing accuracy
- Collection performance
- Supplier payment performance
Provide regular performance reporting and insights to senior stakeholders.

Stakeholder Management

Build strong working relationships with Finance, IT, HR, Procurement and operational teams.
Resolve process issues proactively while improving the overall supplier and customer experience.
Act as the key point of contact for transactional finance across the business.

ERP Implementation

Lead the transactional finance workstream throughout the current ERP implementation.
Work closely with IT and the project team to ensure finance processes are designed, tested, documented and implemented effectively.
Ensure compliance, business continuity and a smooth transition into Business as Usual (BAU).

About You

You will bring:

Significant experience leading a high-volume transactional finance function.
Proven experience managing and developing teams of 15 or more colleagues.
A strong understanding of Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Billing, Collections, financial controls and General Ledger accounting.
Experience delivering process improvements, finance transformation and automation initiatives.
Hands-on experience supporting or leading ERP implementation projects.
Excellent leadership, analytical and stakeholder management skills.
The ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive organisational change.

Qualifications

AAT, ACCA, CIMA or an equivalent accounting qualification, or substantial relevant experience.

Benefits

What’s in it for you?

25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays
Life assurance equivalent to 2x your yearly salary
Five weeks of occupational paid sick leave for added security
Free parking at our Head Office and other depot locations
Unlimited coffee and tea at our offices to keep you refreshed
Clear career progression paths with development opportunities
Strong leadership support to help you thrive
