Job Description

Think Accountancy & Finance are delighted to be supporting this brilliant business again as they continue to grow their team. After recently placing someone into the department, they've said nothing but great things about the culture, support, and progression here, so it's a fantastic time for someone looking to take the next step.

If you've had experience in finance administration, processing invoices, handling payment queries, or working with timesheets, even at a junior level, this could be the ideal role to help you develop further.

What you'll be doing

As part of a highly organised, friendly and motivated Payments team, you'll play a key role in making sure subcontractors and employees are paid accurately and on time. You'll have your own clients to look after, with plenty of support from the Payments Manager as you settle in.

Day-to-day:

  • Processing subcontractor and employee timesheets
  • Managing invoicing for clients in line with agency agreements
  • Ensuring all payments are accurate and made on time
  • Handling payment queries, tax questions and amendments confidently
  • Keeping agencies updated with relevant information
  • Completing reconciliations and maintaining accurate records
  • Supporting with FPS submissions to meet RTI requirements
  • Following debt recovery processes when needed
  • Getting involved in general admin and team tasks

This role suits someone who enjoys working with numbers, has great attention to detail and loves getting things right the first time.

What we're looking for

You don't have to be an expert, the team are open-minded and happy to train the right person, but some exposure to finance, invoicing, or payments would be ideal.

We'd love to hear from someone who:

  • Can prioritise tasks well
  • Has strong Excel and admin skills
  • Communicates clearly and confidently
  • Has excellent attention to detail
  • Enjoys problem-solving and supporting clients
  • Works well under pressure and as part of a team

If you've handled invoices, processed payments, or supported a finance function before, even briefly, this could be a brilliant next step for you. (Your background could look similar to someone who has worked in invoicing, credit control, finance admin or high-volume query handling.)

What's in it for you?

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing with service)
  • Pension
  • Health Assured
  • Life Assurance
  • Cycle to Work Scheme
  • Wellbeing support & employee recognition schemes
  • Annual salary review
  • And the chance to grow your career within a supportive, well-structured team
