Accounts Assistant

About the Role We’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Accounts Assistant to support our finance team. You’ll focus on accounts receivable, invoice processing, payment follow-ups and keeping our financial records accurate.

• Upload invoices to customer systems and portals (e.g., Ariba, Coupa), and send invoices and statements to customers
• Follow up outstanding invoices and contact clients about overdue payments
• Reconcile AR records and make sure payments are allocated correctly
• Investigate and resolve billing discrepancies and customer queries
• Keep electronic records and filing systems accurate and organised
• Liaise with clients, suppliers and third-party providers by phone and email
• Support general admin (data entry, answering calls) and provide reception cover when needed, particularly in busy periods

What You’ll Bring

• Strong Microsoft Office skills, especially Outlook, Excel and Word
• Previous experience in an accounts or finance administration role
• Strong attention to detail, good organisational skills and a proactive approach
• Confidence communicating with clients and suppliers by phone and email

Nice to Have

• Experience with SAP (a plus, not essential)
