At Anabas, we deliver exceptional workplace experiences for corporate office occupiers across the UK. Our focus is simple: creating environments where people and businesses can truly thrive.
We are now looking for an experienced, Accounts Payable Team Leader to work within our Finance team based at our Darlington offices, in this hand on supportive role.
The Accounts Payable Team Leader plays a key role in the day-to-day functioning of the AP team, with responsibility for ensuring that all processes are completed accurately, efficiently, and on time whilst reporting issues non-compliance and work slippage to the Financial Controller. While much of the work is similar to that of an AP Clerk, the Team Leader takes on additional responsibility for ensuring everything is running smoothly - maintaining clean ledgers, proactively managing workloads, and acting as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders and suppliers.

Overall, the AP Team Leader ensures the smooth running of the AP function by maintaining oversight, supporting team members, and stepping in to resolve issues where necessary, providing a crucial link between the AP team, suppliers, and internal departments.
