Accounts Assistant (Payables Focus)

Think Accountancy & Finance are partnering with a well-established, fast-paced business in St Albans who are looking to appoint a confident and hands on Finance Assistant to join their small, collaborative finance team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys ownership, thrives in a busy environment and wants to work closely with an experienced Finance Manager who is happy to train and develop the right person.

We are looking for someone proactive, reliable and ready to be hands on!

The Role

This position is heavily focused on Accounts Payable, with additional exposure across broader finance operations including Accounts Receivable.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Full ownership of the purchase ledger
• High-volume invoice processing and reconciliations
• Managing supplier queries and payment approvals
• Preparing weekly and month-end payment runs
• Supporting payroll processing
• Assisting with credit control and aged debt review
• Supporting month-end processes and reporting
• Maintaining accurate financial records and improving processes

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in a finance role with strong exposure to Accounts Payable
• Confident processing high volumes accurately
• Comfortable working independently and showing initiative
• Professional, reliable and genuinely interested in the role
• Ideally local to St Albans (fully office-based role)

This would particularly suit someone who enjoys structure, stability and being a key part of a small finance function. Attitude and work ethic are just as important as technical ability.

The Details

• Hours: 8:30am - 4:30pm (30-minute lunch)
• Full-time, fully office-based

If you're looking for a solid, hands-on finance role where you can genuinely add value and grow over time, this could be a fantastic move.
