Accounts Payable Assistant

Accounts Payable Specialist - with a twist!

Location: North Watford | Hybrid working availableSalary: £30,000 - £35,000

Think Accountancy & Finance are proud to be partnering with a market-leading UK business as they look to hire an experienced Accounts Payable professional-but this isn't your standard purchase ledger role.

If you're someone who thrives on accuracy, enjoys a "head down" approach to work, but still values building strong internal and external relationships, this could be a perfect fit. This role offers stability within a growing business, alongside the chance to add variety and a fresh twist to your usual day-to-day.

We're looking for someone who understands the full end-to-end purchase ledger process, has a keen eye for numbers and detail, and is open to broadening their responsibilities across the wider finance function.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing supplier accounts to ensure records are accurate and up to date
• Handling high volumes of data (this isn't an analytical role, but attention to detail is key)
• Liaising with key accounts and internal stakeholders
• Performing bank reconciliations
• Assisting with budgeting and supporting the wider finance team during month-end
• Supporting year-end audit processes
• Helping the Accounts Assistant with day-to-day finance tasks

What we're looking for:

• Solid understanding of the full Accounts Payable cycle
• A calm, reliable, and accurate worker who takes pride in their output
• Strong Excel skills and confidence handling financial data
• Excellent communication skills - able to build lasting relationships within a team-focused environment
• Someone who isn't necessarily chasing a managerial path, but who wants variety and challenge within a hands-on finance role

If you're an experienced AP professional looking for something a little different, but with the security of a stable, long-term position then we'd love to hear from you.
