Senior Accounts Payable

SENIOR ACCOUNTS PAYABLE - INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY GROUP

LONDON - 3 DAYS OFFICE / 2 DAYS FROM HOME - 12-MONTH INTERIM - OWN THE WEEKLY MULTI-CURRENCY PAYMENT RUN

£300 per day (inside IR35)

Are you an experienced Accounts Payable interim who can run a multi-currency payment run without being shown twice? Do you like being the safe pair of hands a team relies on while someone key is out?

We Do Group are working with an acquisitive, international property business, recruiting a Senior Accounts Payable interim for 12 months at their London head office. The heart of this role is the weekly payment run, which goes out across four countries in three currencies and several banks, and you’ll own it from preparation right through to suppliers being paid.

The permanent lead is working across a number of projects throughout the year. You’ll get a proper handover in December and then need to run things confidently whether they’re in the office or not. There’s plenty beyond the core ledger too, as the group buys companies regularly and is bringing in a new system next year. This one suits a professional interim who has done it before and works well with finance teams in other countries without needing much handholding.

WISH LIST

• A track record of running AP payment runs end to end, ideally across multiple currencies, entities and banking platforms
• Confident chasing approvers and overseas finance colleagues to keep a weekly timetable on track
• A professional interim mindset, comfortable stepping in and out around a permanent colleague and seeing the full assignment through

THE ROLE

• Own the weekly multi-currency payment run end to end, from pulling approved invoices on a Tuesday to suppliers being paid on the Friday
• Get sign-off from regional finance leads and keep them to the timetable
• Partner with treasury to make sure funds are in the right accounts before each upload
• Handle ad hoc and emergency payments outside the main run, including time-sensitive payments linked to acquisitions and planning applications
• Stay on top of 100+ invoices a week, processing daily so the ledger never falls behind
• Resolve supplier queries quickly and professionally
• Manage business rates correspondence with a large number of councils and get late bills settled before they escalate
• Own the AP ledger, reconciling supplier statements and clearing disputes
• Maintain supplier master data in the finance system
• Prepare aged creditor reporting and escalate problem accounts
• Work with asset management and delivery teams to fix invoicing issues at source
• Support month-end close and ledger reconciliations, in line with internal controls and lease obligations
