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. You’ll also handle general administrative work, so no two days look exactly alike.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare bills and bank deposits

• 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)

• Hands-on experience with customer invoicing portals such as Ariba or Coupa
