Duration: 3 months
Start: ASAP
Location: 5 Days on site
Rate: £15-£18 per hour (equivalent up to ~£36k salary)
Engagement: Interim / hourly rate
Overview
We are seeking a strong Interim Accounts Payable professional to support a high-volume AP function during a period of system challenges and transition. This role is hands-on and operational, suited to an experienced AP specialist rather than a junior finance assistant.
Key Responsibilities
- Processing approximately 1,000 invoices per month across two entities (technology and commercial/business).
- Managing high-volume manual invoice processing due to system integration issues.
- Reviewing invoices routed through Medius (automation tool) and ensuring accuracy.
- Manual coding and matching of invoices.
- Resolving discrepancies where invoices are not flowing correctly between systems.
- Liaising with Procurement via email to obtain margin and invoice detail.
- Supporting BAU AP activity during team change
Systems & Processes
- Invoices enter Medius, but automation is not functioning as expected.
- Medius does not currently speak to D365, resulting in manual intervention.
- Systems experience is not essential - strong AP capability is the priority.
Candidate Profile
- Proven experience in high-volume Accounts Payable roles.
- Comfortable working in manual, process-heavy environments.
- Strong attention to detail with solid invoice coding and matching experience.
- Resilient, proactive, and able to hit the ground running.
- Not suitable for junior Accounts Assistants - this role requires a robust AP professional.
Additional Information
- Immediate requirement - interviews taking place ASAP.
