How will you make an impact?

As an Accounts Payable Accountant, you will play a crucial role in making the daily lives of your colleagues easier.

Tasks and responsibilities:

• Verifying, recording, and processing incoming supplier invoices accurately and on time in the ERP system.

• Monitoring due dates, preparing bank transfers, and coordinating payment execution with the finance team.

• Communicating with vendors to resolve invoice discrepancies, credit notes, and outstanding payments.

• Maintaining accurate documentation of accounting entries, scanning, archiving, and organising records.

• Performing accounts payable (AP) closing activities, including reconciliations and the preparation of reports.

• Ensuring adherence to company financial policies and procedures in all AP-related activities.

• Preparing regular and ad hoc AP reports, such as aging analysis and open items lists.

• Contributing to the enhancement and automation of AP workflows to improve efficiency and accuracy.

We are looking for:

• A minimum of 3 years of experience in accounts payable accounting.

• Strong knowledge of invoice processing, reconciliations, and payment cycles.

• Solid understanding of accounting principles.

• Hands-on experience with month-end closing.

• Exposure to AP reporting (aging analysis, open items, payment forecast, etc.).

• Proficiency with ERP systems; Salesforce/Certinia experience is an advantage.

• Strong Excel/Google Sheets and financial analysis skills.

• Proven problem-solving ability and attention to detail.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• Proactive, action-oriented mindset with the ability to meet tight deadlines.

• Fluency in both written and verbal English.

What’s in it for you? 

• A competitive compensation package, including a base salary, private health insurance, cafeteria benefits, and annual performance-based bonus.

• High levels of responsibility and autonomy.

• A flexible working model – most days you can work from home, with 1–2 days per week in the office to connect with the team.

• Opportunities to learn and grow within a supportive team.

• The chance to see your work make a tangible impact on health and education services every day.

• Opportunities to connect with colleagues worldwide at annual global conferences.
