Accounts Payable Assistant

OUR ROLE We are looking for an organised and proactive Accounts Payable Assistant to join our finance team at our head office in Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Working closely with our outsourced Accounts Payable processing partner, you will help ensure invoices are processed accurately and on time. With invoice entry and initial processing managed externally, your focus will be on overseeing activity, resolving discrepancies and maintaining financial controls, while building strong relationships with suppliers and colleagues.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? You will monitor invoice processing and review outstanding items, working with our outsourced partner and internal teams to resolve issues and keep invoices moving through to payment.

Your responsibilities

Investigating invoice exceptions relating to purchase orders, coding, approvals, tax and supplier information. Monitoring invoices approaching their payment due dates, resolving outstanding issues and escalating where needed. Reconciling supplier statements and responding to invoice, payment and account balance queries.

Supporting payment preparation and validation, investigating duplicate invoices and incorrect payments, and assisting with supplier data and bank detail verification.
