Accounts Payable Immediate Start

Description:

Think Accountancy & Finance are looking for an experienced Accounts Payable professional to join a growing finance team based in Kings Langley, just outside of Hemel Hempstead.

We are specifically looking for someone who has worked within a busy, multi-entity or multi-site environment, is confident taking ownership of their own ledgers and understands the full AP process beyond simply processing invoices.

If you have strong hands-on AP experience who is comfortable managing multiple priorities, resolving issues and making sure their ledgers are accurate and up to date.

This is a fast-paced environment supporting a large portfolio of companies, so previous experience working across multiple entities, companies, sites or ledgers is essential.

What will you be doing?

Taking ownership of Accounts Payable across an allocated portfolio of entities

Processing high volumes of PO and non-PO supplier invoices

Reconciling supplier statements and resolving aged or outstanding items

Managing supplier and internal queries through to resolution

Preparing, uploading and processing payment runs

Working with banking platforms and following appropriate payment approval controls

Completing bank reconciliations and investigating discrepancies

Monitoring cash balances and upcoming payments

Maintaining accurate supplier details and supporting bank-detail verification

Chasing invoice approvals and resolving delays

Supporting month-end activities

Working closely with the wider finance and treasury teams

Ensuring strong financial controls and accurate, right-first-time processing

What are we looking for?

We'd love to speak with you if you have:

Strong Accounts Payable / Purchase Ledger experience

Experience working across multiple entities, companies, sites or ledgers

Experience taking ownership of your own AP workload rather than purely processing invoices

Strong supplier statement reconciliation experience

Hands-on payment run experience

Exposure to bank reconciliations, treasury or cash management

Experience within a high-volume finance environment

Good Excel skills

Strong attention to detail and confidence resolving discrepancies independently

Experience with multi-currency payments, international suppliers, shared services or outsourced finance environments would be a great advantage.
