Base pay range
There are two types of Accounts Payable people.
The ones who just process invoices blindly typing numbers into a system like a caffeinated robot.
And the ones who actually solve problems. The ones who see a dodgy PO, chase it, fix it, and stop it happening again.
This company are looking for the second type.
Youll already know your way around SAP (if youve never used it, this isnt the role for you, you need to navigate T-codes in your sleep). Ideally, youll also have experience dealing with manufacturing, so you understand that "invoice on hold" can mean missing goods receipts, pricing mismatches, or a forklift that never turned up.
This isnt just about typing invoices into a system. Its about:
What youll be doing:
* Reviewing and processing PO-backed invoices using a proper 3-way match.
* Reconciling vendor accounts and resolving invoice discrepancies.
* Collaborating with procurement, plant admins and accountants to fix issues.
* Reviewing and entering direct invoices into SAP and Basware.
* Managing the AP mailbox and handling supplier/internal queries.
* Distributing invoices for coding and approvals.
* Supporting month-end close (clearings, accruals, GR/IR clean-up).
What youll need:
* Solid AP experience.
* SAP experience (essential).
* Background in manufacturing AP (strongly preferred).
* Excel skills and attention to detail that borders on obsessive.
* Strong communication skills - youll be talking to vendors, buyers, and plant staff regularly.
* The ability to juggle deadlines without losing your head.
What youll get:
* A salary between £28-32k depending on experience.
* 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (you dont live to work).
* Private medical cover (more than just a fruit bowl and a flu jab).
* A generous pension contribution (the grown-up kind, not the 3% "if you\re lucky" kind).
The companys global, but this role is based in Warrington and youll be working from the offices.
If youre the sort of AP specialist who gets a kick out of fixing the mess others create, instead of being the one creating it, then this is probably the right role for you.
