You will manage open payment items and act as a key point of contact for the outsourced payment team, supporting the smooth processing of company payments including payroll, supplier payments, VAT and other financial obligations.
A significant part of the role involves maintaining balance sheet integrity through the completion and review of reconciliations, ensuring financial records are accurate, complete and supported by appropriate documentation.
