ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SPECIALIST - REAL ESTATE

LONDON - 3 DAYS OFFICE / 2 DAYS FROM HOME - 12-MONTH FIXED-TERM CONTRACT - BROAD INTERNATIONAL AP EXPERIENCE IN AN ACQUISITIVE GROUP

£38,000-£42,000

Are you an Accounts Payable professional looking for a salaried role with broader, international scope? Would a 12-month fixed-term contract in a growing, acquisitive group suit where you are in your career right now?

We Do Group are hiring an Accounts Payable Specialist on a 12-month fixed-term contract for an international property business headquartered in London. You’ll join the transactions processing team, reporting to the Finance Operations Manager, and take responsibility for the core supplier ledger and the weekly payment run across the group’s UK and overseas entities.

The contract covers a period of ongoing projects, with the incumbent working in blocks through the year, so you’ll learn the role alongside them before taking the lead. It’s a good step for someone who has handled a domestic ledger and now wants exposure to multi-currency payments and overseas suppliers. A new system also goes live next year, which will pull some of the wider team away from day-to-day work, so there’s scope to pick up more as the year goes on.

WISH LIST

• Solid accounts payable experience in a medium to large finance function, ideally with some involvement in payment runs
• Organised enough to keep a heavy invoice volume and a steady flow of supplier queries moving at the same time
• Someone who wants the security of a salaried contract and will see the full 12 months through

THE ROLE

• Take responsibility for the accounts payable ledger, keeping it accurate, complete and regularly reconciled
• Process 100+ supplier invoices a week on a daily basis, including invoices from overseas suppliers
• Reconcile supplier statements and resolve discrepancies or disputes
• Run the weekly payment run for UK and overseas entities, covering three currencies and several banks
• Coordinate approvals with regional finance leads and work alongside treasury on funding
• Upload and authorise payments on each banking platform so suppliers are paid on time every Friday
• Process manual and urgent payments that fall outside the weekly run
• Be the first point of contact for supplier queries
• Work through business rates bills with councils, many of which arrive late in the process
• Keep supplier records up to date in the finance system
• Produce aged creditor reports and escalate where needed
• Support month-end with reconciliations and reporting, liaising with internal teams on invoicing issues

YOUR PROFILE

• Strong Accounts Payable experience
• Effective communicator - written & verbal
• Good working knowledge of MS Excel
• Multi-currency payment run experience preferred
• Experience of a larger ERP system advantageous, not essential

SALARY & BENEFITS

• £38,000-£42,000
• London head office: 3 days in the office, 2 from home
• 12-month fixed-term contract, starting December 2026
