  • Act as a key contact for suppliers, resolving queries quickly and maintaining strong working relationships.​

  • Code invoices correctly to the P&L or balance sheet and ensure the right tax treatment is applied.​

    ​

What you'll get

  • Salary up to £31,000, depending on experience.​

  • 33 days annual leave.​

  • Perkbox membership giving access to a range of discounts and wellbeing perks.​

  • Medicash Plan providing cash-back on everyday health and wellbeing costs.​

  • Supportive team environment, with training on month-end and wider finance processes.
