• Preparing BACS payments – collating and processing payment runs in line with company deadlines, ensuring suppliers are paid on time
• Setting up new supplier accounts and maintaining existing records – entering accurate details into the system, updating information, and ensuring compliance with internal controls
• Reconciling supplier statements – checking balances against company records to identify and correct any variances
• Filing and organising invoices – maintaining an efficient and accurate filing system to support smooth audit and reporting processes

You will be/have:

• Previous accounts experience working with a high volume of invoices
