Senior Accounts Payable Specialist

A senior Accounts Payable role within a busy, high-volume Finance team, ideally suited to someone from a Financial Services background. While the title is AP-focused, this role extends well beyond processing, taking ownership of journals, accruals, prepayments and monthly accounts preparation, with scope to take on managerial responsibilities as the team grows. A formal accounting qualification is not required; hands-on experience is what matters here.

Owning the end-to-end accounts payable process in a high-volume environment, from vendor setup through to payment
Overseeing the processing of invoices and purchase orders, ensuring accuracy and timeliness at pace
Preparing and posting journals, accruals and prepayments

Reconciling supplier statements and aged creditor balances
Supporting and contributing to monthly management accounts preparation and the month-end close
Taking on supervisory and managerial duties, including reviewing work, supporting junior team members and improving processes
Managing the finance inbox and acting as a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
Taking on varied responsibilities across the wider Finance function as business needs evolve

Your Requirements:

Significant experience in a high-volume Accounts Payable environment, ideally within Financial Services
Proven experience with journals, accruals, prepayments and credit card reconciliations
Exposure to monthly accounts preparation; please outline how far you have taken accounts (e.g. trial balance, management accounts)
Experience in, or appetite for, managerial or supervisory responsibilities
Strong understanding of General Ledger and AP systems, with ERP experience an advantage
Experience with online banking platforms and financial reporting tools
Advanced Excel skills
Comfortable working at pace, juggling varied responsibilities and meeting tight deadlines
Excellent attention to detail and a proactive, results-driven approach
