Following the recent go-live of a system integration project, our client is looking for strong transactional finance professionals to help the team manage a significant volume of invoice processing.

Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders and external suppliers
Contribute to ongoing team performance and process improvements

Required Experience:
Previous experience in Accounts Payable or transactional finance roles
Experience working in large organisations (ideally housing associations or councils) with multiple stakeholders
Comfortable managing large volumes - the team processes 5,000-6,000 invoices weekly
Familiarity with automated invoice processing systems (OCR / invoice capture)
Knowledge of D365 (desirable but not essential)
Resilient, tenacious, and confident - someone not afraid to push back or challenge where needed
A solid understanding of P2P cycles and transactional finance operations
