Overview

Are you an experienced Accounts Payable professional who enjoys variety, takes pride in getting the detail right and is always looking for ways to make processes better?

 

Joining our EIMEA Finance team, you’ll take ownership of accounts payable activities across assigned countries, including bank reconciliations, payment runs, supplier accounts and expenses. This is broader than a traditional Accounts Payable role, giving you exposure to different finance activities, systems and improvement projects.

 

You’ll join a collaborative team that works closely together while giving people the independence to manage their own responsibilities. With established systems in place and further change ahead, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, develop and positively challenge how things are done.

 

Responsibilities

 

  • Processing accounts payable invoices, credit notes and contras for assigned countries, matching invoices to purchase orders and resolving queries.
  • Preparing supplier and employee payments, payroll-related payments, social taxes and intercompany bank transfers, ensuring the correct approvals and controls are followed.
  • Completing regular bank and supplier reconciliations and investigating any discrepancies.
  • Preparing payment runs and uploading payments to the banking platform for approval.
  • Reviewing aged payables, open purchase orders and goods received not invoiced, identifying and resolving outstanding items.
  • Processing employee expenses and company credit card transactions, including reconciliations and related journals.
  • Preparing general ledger journals, accruals and supporting month-end accounting activities.
  • Supporting cash movement and cash-flow analysis, escalating any concerns to senior Finance colleagues.
  • Working closely with colleagues across EIMEA to ensure transactions are completed accurately and on time.
  • Supporting system upgrades, testing and improvement projects relating to Accounts Payable.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve processes, strengthen controls and make the way we work more effective.

 

 

Qualifications

 
  • At least three years’ relevant Accounts Payable accounting and reporting experience.
  • Practical experience completing bank reconciliations and payment runs.
  • Experience processing high-volume, multi-currency Accounts Payable transactions.
  • Strong knowledge of purchase order processes, three-way matching and goods received not invoiced.
  • Experience using Accounts Payable and expense-management systems. Knowledge of Medius and Concur would be advantageous.
  • Good general accounting knowledge, including journals, reconciliations and month-end activities.
  • A structured and organised approach, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • The confidence to work independently, use your initiative and collaborate with colleagues across different countries and functions.
  • A curious mindset and the willingness to positively challenge existing processes and recommend improvements.
  • Experience working internationally or within a manufacturing environment would be advantageous but not a requirement.
