The Opportunity
A busy and evolving business is looking for an Accounts Assistant to join its transactional finance team on an initial contract basis.
This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on Accounts Payable, alongside support across Accounts Receivable and Credit Control. It would suit someone who enjoys being busy, is happy working in a changing environment, and can quickly get stuck in.
The Role

- Processing supplier invoices
- Checking supplier and invoice information
- Preparing payments up to BACS stage
- Managing supplier queries and urgent payment requests
- Supporting backlog clearance across AP
- Chasing outstanding customer payments
- Sending reminders and following up overdue balances
- Supporting wider transactional finance activity where needed
This is a dual role, so flexibility and willingness to support across the team will be important.
It is a great fit for someone who likes solving problems, improving processes, and making a visible impact quickly.
What They Are Looking For
- Accounts Payable experience
- Some exposure to AR and/or Credit Control
- Strong Excel skills
- Organised and proactive approach
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, changing environment
- Able to manage workload and shifting priorities
- Someone who can hit the ground running and support the team from day one
Experience with Sage would be useful, but is not essential.
Why It Could Be a Good Move
- Opportunity to make an immediate impact
- Broad exposure across transactional finance
- Great role for someone who enjoys busy, hands-on finance work
- Potential for longer-term opportunities as the team develops
