About the role

As our Accounts Payable Assistant, you’ll support the Finance team with the day-to-day processing of invoices and payments, while also helping to ensure our customer accounts are accurate and up to date.

• Managing accrued bank interest

• Ensuring customer queries received through our ticketing systems are dealt with in a timely manner

• Applying manual credits to customer accounts

• Processing and analysing customer cancellations

• Raising manual invoices through Sage 200

• Providing monthly details of credits applied to customer accounts

• Ensuring all customer accounts are in the correct billing state

You’ll also work closely with colleagues across the business, so good communication skills and a helpful, can-do approach are important.
