We are expanding our team and looking for driven professionals to contribute to our continued growth

We are seeking an organised and detail-oriented Accounts Payable Specialist to manage the full accounts payable cycle—from supplier invoice processing through to payment runs and reconciliations. This role will report directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and will play an integral part in maintaining accurate financial records, ensuring timely supplier payments, supporting the month-end close process, and improving finance processes.

- Verify invoice details, coding, and supporting documentation to ensure compliance with internal controls.
- Resolve invoice discrepancies in coordination with procurement and project teams.
- Maintain a well-organised accounts payable ledger and filing system.
- Prepare weekly and monthly payment runs in line with company cash flow and credit terms.
- Ensure all payments are authorised and processed accurately and on time.
- Manage supplier relationships, addressing payment queries and providing remittance advice.
- Support onboarding of new suppliers and ensure proper documentation is collected.
- Perform regular supplier statement reconciliations and resolve outstanding items promptly.
- Reconcile control accounts and ensure accurate financial postings within the ERP system.
- Assist with month-end accruals, prepayments, and reporting to support management accounts.
- Support internal and external audits by preparing relevant schedules and documentation.

Process Improvement

- Identify opportunities to streamline and automate accounts payable processes.
- Develop and implement best practices to improve accuracy, efficiency, and internal controls.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance financial workflows and reporting.

Other Duties

- Provide general finance support and perform ad hoc duties as required by the CFO or wider finance team.

Key Requirements

- Minimum 2 years’ experience in accounts payable or a similar finance role.
- Part-qualified accountant or actively pursuing a professional qualification (e.g., ACCA, CIMA, CPA).
- Strong understanding of the A/P cycle, including invoice processing, payments, and reconciliations.
- High attention to detail, strong organisational and communication skills.
- Proficiency in Excel and experience using ERP or finance systems.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

- Experience working in a project-based or manufacturing environment.
- Familiarity with multi-currency supplier accounts and international payments.

What We Offer

- Competitive salary and study support toward professional qualifications.
- Career development and growth within a fast-paced finance environment.
- A collaborative and supportive company culture.
- The opportunity to contribute to a business at the cutting edge of modular innovation.
