Payroll & Transactional Support

  • Assist with payroll-related activities during staff absences.
  • Support month-end and year-end processes, including accruals and reporting.
  • Collaborate with other finance teams on wider transactional activities.

Continuous Improvement & Leadership Support

  • Deputise for the Finance Transactional Team Leader when required.
  • Identify process improvements to streamline AP/AR operations.
  • Promote accuracy, accountability, and collaboration within the team.

What We're Looking For:

Essential

  • Experience in Accounts Payable / Receivable or a similar finance supervisory role.
  • Strong knowledge of end-to-end AP/AR processes and internal controls.
  • Excellent Excel skills and attention to detail.
  • Organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities.
  • Strong communicator who can build relationships across teams and with suppliers.

  • Experience supporting payroll activities.
  • AAT qualified or working towards.
  • Background in a shared service or multi-entity environment.

Key Strengths

  • Leadership & People Development
  • Accuracy & Attention to Detail
  • Process Improvement & Efficiency
  • Communication & Teamwork
  • Problem Solving & Initiative
  • Customer Service Focus
