Job description

Junior Finance / Accounts Payable Assistant

East Sussex

Temporary to permanent

£26,000-£28,000

Are you looking to start or develop your career in finance?

We're working with an organisation in East Sussex that is looking for a Junior Finance / Accounts Payable Specialist to join their team on a temp-to-perm basis.

This would suit a recent Graduate or someone with some previous office or finance experience who is keen to build their knowledge of accounts payable and develop a career within finance.

You'll support the finance team with the day-to-day processing of invoices and general accounts payable tasks.

Your responsibilities will include:

Processing invoices onto the finance system
Checking invoices are correct and have the relevant approvals
Matching invoices to purchase orders where required
Helping keep supplier records up to date
Assisting with supplier payments
Responding to straightforward supplier queries
Helping resolve invoice or payment discrepancies
Filing and maintaining finance records
Using Excel and the finance system to update and check information
Supporting the wider finance team with general finance administration

You'll be given support as you learn the processes, so this is a good opportunity for someone who wants to build their finance experience rather than someone who already knows everything.

What we're looking for

You don't need extensive accounts payable experience. We're looking for someone who is:

Interested in developing a career in finance
Ideally has some experience in an office, finance or administration environment
Comfortable working with numbers and basic financial information
Confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
Accurate and organised
Comfortable communicating with colleagues and suppliers
Able to manage their workload and meet deadlines
Reliable and willing to learn
Happy working as part of a team

Previous accounts payable or purchase ledger experience would be useful, but attitude, attention to detail and a willingness to learn are just as important.

What's on offer?

£26,000 - £28,000
Temp to permanent opportunity
East Sussex location
Full training and support
Opportunity to develop your finance knowledge and experience
The chance to progress within a wider finance function
