The role
A hands-on transactional finance role owning accounts payable, accounts receivable and cash across the group. You'll run the front end of the ledger day to day and work closely with our Finance Team, who'll support you technically as you take on more.
It suits someone early in their career who wants breadth rather than a single queue of invoices: multiple entities, four currencies, high-volume D2C payment flows and a manufacturing operation in China all land on your desk rather than someone else's in a team this size. You'll be given as much as you can carry.
What you'll cover
Accounts payable
- Processing supplier invoices across multiple entities and currencies, coded accurately, keeping the ledger current rather than catching up at month-end
- The accounts inbox and supplier relationships - handling invoice and payment queries, resolving what you can yourself and escalating what you can't
- Supplier statement reconciliations - agreeing our records to theirs, and investigating differences rather than just noting them
- Preparing multi-currency payment runs for review, with the supporting detail behind every line
- Intercompany invoicing between our UK, EU, US and China entities
- Employee expenses - processing, policy checks and posting
- Keeping aged creditors clean, including unallocated payments and accounts sitting the wrong way round
Accounts receivable
- Payment gateway and merchant account reconciliation - tying high-volume D2C sales back to cash, including refunds, chargebacks and returns
- Sales ledger maintenance, cash allocation and clearing unallocated receipts
- Aged debtor housekeeping and chasing what's outstanding
Cash and banking
- Daily cash reporting across all entities and currencies
- Bank reconciliations - every account, every currency, reconciled and current rather than reconstructed later
- Company credit card reconciliations, and analysing monthly spend by cardholder and category
- Clearing and suspense account housekeeping, so nothing unexplained is carried forward
And more broadly
- Month-end support across your areas - making sure AP, AR and cash are clean, reconciled and ready for the close
- Ad-hoc projects and any other duties the finance function requires - in a team this size, the interesting problems tend to land wherever there's capability rather than wherever the job description says
About you
Essential
- Transactional finance experience - purchase ledger, banking or a broad accounts assistant role in a busy environment
- Accurate at volume, and unwilling to leave a difference unexplained
- Confident in Excel (lookups and pivots) and comfortable handling large volumes of data
- Organised and self-directed - owns their own deadlines and chases what's outstanding without being asked
- Wants to progress technically, and is either studying or ready to start
Desirable

What success looks like
- First 3 months - AP, expenses and daily banking run cleanly and to deadline without prompting

- First 12 months - your areas of the ledger need no rework, freeing the FInance team to work further up the balance sheet
