A leading hospitals charity based in West London is seeking a Finance Officer with a strong, high volume Accounts Payable background for an urgent full-time 6-month fixed term contract role. The position comes with a salary of £30,000 - £33,000 per annum, and hybrid working – with 2-3 days per week required in the office.

Applicants must have strong experience in a high-volume Accounts Payable role as the position involves processing over 100 invoices per day. Candidates should also have strong experience with using a Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) system. Experience with a large accounting system such as Access Dimensions, Great Plains, Exchequer, Agresso, SUN, Dynamics etc is a strong advantage – as is having experience supervising junior staff.

The role is offered initially on a 6-month fixed term basis; however the role is business critical so it is possible the role could transition to a permanent post.

• Processing supplier invoices, expenses, and company credit card transactions in Access Financials
