Job description

We are looking for a detail-driven and proactive Finance Operations Analyst to join our finance team. This is a key operational role supporting the end-to-end finance function, with a primary focus on billing, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The role combines hands-on operational delivery with practical financial analysis, using data to investigate issues, prioritise action and enhance the efficiency and accuracy of finance processes.

Accuracy, pace and ownership are essential in this role. You will play a critical part in ensuring revenue is billed accurately, supplier invoices are reviewed and processed efficiently, payments are made on time and working capital is effectively managed. Working closely with the Senior Management Accountant, Financial Controller and wider finance team, you will help deliver smooth day-to-day finance operations, maintain strong financial controls, and support healthy cash flow. Alongside daily processing, you will analyse billing, overdue debt and payment issues, discuss findings directly with senior finance colleagues, and support reconciliations and month-end reporting.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to develop broad finance operations experience, contribute to process improvements and build a strong foundation for progression within the finance team. During the six-month contract, you will help deliver a focused set of practical improvements to workflows and reporting, with clear documentation to support consistent ways of working across the team.

What you’ll do

Billing & Accounts Receivable (AR)

  • Raise accurate and timely client invoices in line with contracts and billing schedules
  • Ensure all billable work and expenses is invoiced completely and accurately
  • Manage the end-to-end accounts receivable process, including cash allocation and client account reconciliations
  • Manage overdue debt by proactively chasing outstanding invoices to maximise cash collections
  • Work with Client Partners and clients to obtain purchase orders, resolve billing queries and support timely invoicing
  • Prepare and maintain aged debt reporting, providing insights into overdue balances, collection performance and accounts receivable trends (e.g. DSO, accrued revenue)

Accounts Payable (AP)

  • Review, code and process supplier invoices accurately, ensuring appropriate approvals are obtained and VAT is correctly accounted for
  • Match purchase orders, invoices and receipts, investigating and resolving discrepancies where needed
  • Prepare and process supplier payment runs in line with agreed payment terms
  • Manage company credit card transactions, ensuring spend is appropriately coded, supported by valid receipts and compliant with the company expense policy
  • Maintain supplier records and respond to supplier queries in a timely manner
  • Ensure adherence to internal controls and finance policies

Expenses Processing

  • Review and process employee expense claims in line with company policy
  • Ensure all expenses are supported with appropriate documentation and approvals
  • Reconcile expenses and credit card transactions within the accounting system, following up on outstanding documentation where required

Transactional Finance & Operations

  • Support the month-end close process, including reconciliations and accruals where required
  • Maintain accurate and complete financial records across AR, AP, expenses and cash
  • Work closely with the Management Accountant and wider finance team to support accurate financial reporting
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, controls and system efficiencies

What a typical week could includeYou might start by reviewing receipts and overdue balances, following up customer queries and checking upcoming supplier payments, helping support cash flow and working capital. Alongside processing invoices and expenses, you could investigate a billing discrepancy, explain changes in aged debt and agree collection priorities directly with the Senior Management Accountant and Financial Controller.

Around month-end, your focus will shift towards reconciliations and supporting schedules, helping maintain accurate records and strong financial controls. As operational priorities allow, you will contribute to practical improvements, such as simplifying a reconciliation or reducing manual steps in a report.

Working closely with the wider finance team, you will have opportunities to learn and develop across accounts receivable, accounts payable and finance operations. The balance will vary with payment deadlines and the month-end cycle, offering varied, hands-on work where accuracy, ownership and continuous improvement are valued.

Who you are

  • Experience in accounts receivable, accounts payable and finance operations
  • Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and strong numerical accuracy
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple priorities and deadlines
  • Strong communication and relationship building skills, with the ability to work effectively with colleagues, clients and suppliers
  • Proactive, reliable, and able to take ownership of daily finance processes
  • Good understanding of finance systems and transactional workflows
  • A collaborative team player with a willingness to support the wider Finance and Operations function
  • A continuous improvement mindset, with a desire to simplify and automate processes to enhance the efficiency of the finance function.
