Review financial information and supporting documentation, taking responsibility for identifying and escalating discrepancies or incorrect postings.
Contribute to the accurate and timely delivery of statutory reporting, audits and internal financial controls.
Work with experienced colleagues to investigate issues, taking ownership of agreed actions and following them through to completion.

Take ownership of resolving routine invoice, payment, purchase order and goods receipt queries, working with relevant colleagues when additional input is required.
Follow up proactively on invoices that require additional information or action, ensuring issues continue to progress.
Review open purchase orders and supplier balances and take appropriate follow-up actions to support accurate period-end reporting.
Work with business users, shared service teams and external providers to drive timely resolution of issues and keep finance processes moving effectively.

Help us work smarter
We’re also looking for someone curious about how finance processes can be improved and willing to take ownership of identifying and progressing opportunities for improvement.
You’ll have opportunities to
Investigate recurring issues, identify root causes and take responsibility for agreed follow-up actions.
Contribute to and take ownership of defined improvements that simplify and standardise finance processes.
Explore automation, analytics, AI and other approved digital tools to identify opportunities to improve efficiency and accuracy.

Some familiarity with areas such as accounts payable, invoices, purchase orders or period-end activities.
Practical Excel skills, including experience working with detailed data, lookups and pivot tables.
