Our client has seen an increased demand over the years for its wide range of products and are now seeking an experienced, hands on AP Specialist as the company seek to double in size this year. They are immensely proud and committed to investing in their people, and their core values have been developed to underpin a culture where their people can always thrive and succeed.

Reporting to the Finance Manager, and working alongside one other AP specialist, you will be working within the heart of the finance team of 8 (and set to grow more this year), so here we require a hands-on, collaborative AP Specialist, ideally with recent experience of being in a similar role in a busy and fast paced environment, who can demonstrate excellent AP skills, as well as previous experience of supplier statement reconciliations and managing supplier accounts.

Your role as the Accounts Payable Specialist, will be varied and will include:

• Fully responsible for purchase ledger administration across the business

• Review of supplier discounts in line with commercial agreements
• Management of supplier accounts including monthly supplier statement reconciliations
• Successful query resolution on purchase invoices with external suppliers and internal departments
• Active monitoring of the Purchase Order system and collaboration with Business Divisions when required
• Reconciliation of the Accounts payable ledgers to the General Ledger and query resolution
• Processing of internal company expense claims prior to payment
• Raising of internal inter-company recharge invoices
• Responsible for accurate month end cut off procedures for purchase ledger
• Creation of journal entries for month end
• Input of payments onto the banking system for approval
• Accounts payable and payments reporting against KPIs
• Providing support to the Financial Manager & FD when required

As the AP Specialist, you will ideally be able to offer:

• Be qualified by experience and used to working either in a sole charge, or small AP team
• Be able to offer recent, similar experience, probably gained working from within an SME organisation, but applications from candidates from the corporate background will also be considered
• Be able to multi-task with ease
• Offer superb collaboration skills and be able to work with all stake-holders at all levels

This role comes with a super benefits package, including an annual 12% bonus (paid quarterly), pension, health-care, and long term career progression.
