  • Processing supplier invoices and credit notes
  • Carrying out monthly supplier statement reconciliations
  • Liaising with suppliers regarding queries and payments
  • Managing supplier payment runs within agreed payment terms
  • Supporting month-end ledger reconciliations
  • Managing and archiving invoices
  • Reconciling outstanding purchase orders
  • Investigating and managing stock discrepancies
  • Managing the accounts inbox
  • Completing bank reconciliations
  • Supporting the wider finance team with ad hoc tasks and projects

About You

  • We're looking for someone who is:
  • Experienced in Accounts Payable or a similar finance role (minimum 2 years)
  • Numerate, organised and highly detail-oriented
  • Confident using Excel and other IT systems
  • Logical, precise and accurate in their approach
  • Proactive and comfortable taking ownership
  • Able to work effectively in a busy and sometimes challenging environment
  • A confident communicator who can build relationships with stakeholders and suppliers
  • Resilient, motivated and keen to develop their skills
  • Honest, approachable and easy to work with
  • Experience within hospitality, leisure or retail would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's on Offer?

Alongside a £30,000 salary and annual performance bonus, you'll have access to an impressive benefits package, including:

  • Complimentary meals while on shift
  • Gym and wellbeing class access
  • Complimentary membership of a selection of leading gardens and attractions
  • Employee Assistance Programme for you and your family
  • Recognition and rewards programme
  • Regular team events, activities and development opportunities
  • A positive working environment where colleagues are encouraged to contribute ideas and help shape the future of the business
