Interim Accounts Payable Specialist

Duration: 3 months

Start: ASAP

Location : 5 Days on site

Rate: £15-£18 per hour (equivalent up to ~£36k salary)

Engagement: Interim / hourly rate

Overview

We are seeking a strong Interim Accounts Payable professional to support a high-volume AP function during a period of system challenges and transition. This role is hands-on and operational, suited to an experienced AP specialist rather than a junior finance assistant.

Key Responsibilities

• Processing approximately 1,000 invoices per month across two entities (technology and commercial/business).
• Managing high-volume manual invoice processing due to system integration issues.
• Reviewing invoices routed through Medius (automation tool) and ensuring accuracy.
• Manual coding and matching of invoices.
• Resolving discrepancies where invoices are not flowing correctly between systems.
• Liaising with Procurement via email to obtain margin and invoice detail.
• Supporting BAU AP activity during team change

Systems & Processes

• Invoices enter Medius, but automation is not functioning as expected.
• Medius does not currently speak to D365, resulting in manual intervention.
• Systems experience is not essential - strong AP capability is the priority.

Candidate Profile

• Proven experience in high-volume Accounts Payable roles.
• Comfortable working in manual, process-heavy environments.
• Strong attention to detail with solid invoice coding and matching experience.
• Resilient, proactive, and able to hit the ground running.
• Not suitable for junior Accounts Assistants - this role requires a robust AP professional.

Additional Information

• Immediate requirement - interviews taking place ASAP.
