Accounts Payable Specialist (Hybrid)

CV-Library

Posted on Jun 24, 2026 by CV-Library
Cordwainer, City and County of the City of London, United Kingdom
Accountancy
Immediate Start
£45k - £50k Annual
Contract/Project
An unusual maternity cover where you can make a difference, not just be a caretaker.
* 2 days on-site in Cannon Street (including Thursdays), 3 from home, flexible working arrangements
* £45k to £50k. Excellent range of flexible benefits, including 26 days holiday
* Late July / early August start
Her leave is planned to start in mid-August for 12 months and it’s expected the role will change based on your help. On her return, you will mentor her on improvements that will make her job easier. She’s performing well in a standalone capacity, with a reliance on manual processes.
They’ve moved from being a small company to a scale up, and you will have an opportunity to review and improve accounts payable to support their future needs.
This is a professional services firm growing 30% year on year, organically and through acquisition. They employ 250 people with accounts payable processes that have evolved with the business. As a supplier I can tell you the finance team is efficient, welcoming, friendly and diverse. And that the five finance people I’ve introduced are all enjoying working there.
Signed off as a 12-month contract, and it’s expected there will be a short term extension. Assuming they continue to grow, this may create future opportunities including a permanent vacancy - however, please treat this as a temporary vacancy in your decision to apply.
What you'll do
* End-to-end accounts payable across 1 main and 3 smaller entities: purchase approvals, invoice processing, weekly payment runs, bank postings, supplier reconciliations and month-end accruals support
* Support cashflow forecasting, intergroup transactions and disbursements, and ad hoc billing and reporting across the group
* Look for opportunities to reduce their manual workload through suitable automation, which may include AI – this is to enable the team rather than affect future hires
About you
* An experienced AP professional - MS 365 Business Central or similar
* You enjoy owning accounts payable with a helpful nature and customer service ethic
* Experience of improving AP processes - such as data capture tools
The recruitment process
* This advert is live as of 24th June and will run until the 29th, due to volume of suitable applications
* 1st interview by Teams on July 7th. 2nd stage in person on the 9th or 10th
* Start date ideally 27th July to allow a handover
* Don’t worry if your CV isn’t up to date - use what you have and we can deal with the rest later.
All applications will receive a reply within 3 days. I’ll read every application personally and don’t use any AI for assessment purposes
