You enjoy understanding how things work - not just completing tasks, but seeing how your work impacts the wider organisation.

• Experience in taking full ownership of end-to-end Accounts Payable within a medium or large organisation
• Confidence managing high-volume invoices and payment runs
• Strong attention to detail and with the ability to identify discrepancies and resolve issues independently
• Excellent organisation and prioritisation capability
