The Company

With multiple planned migrations contributing to a period of sustained growth this company is now looking to employ a number of Accounting Associates with various European Language skills.
The business has an enviable reputation for staff development and retention coupled with opportunities both in the UK and overseas.
The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity for candidates with Purchase to Pay or Accounts Payable experience to develop their career in an every changing and challenging environment. This role is based in Manchester but you will have contact with the various European Companies and have full responsibility for communicating in their native language. This is an excellent platform to utilise your language skills as well as progressing your career in the Accounting and Finance field.
You will be provided with support from experienced members of staff but also afforded the autonomy to really work on your own initiative and take responsibility for all Purchase to Pay functions.
The Job
You will be responsible for performing daily accounts payable activities including sub-ledger review payment runs, inter-company and month-end closing activities. In addition to this you will also be involved in supporting cash flow forecasting and daily information gathering and reporting, participating in monthly customer service delivery review meetings, and ensuring customer service commitments are met or exceeded. Key Duties will be -
- Process payment runs.
- Weekly and Monthly inter-company reconciliations.
- Reconciling vendor statements.
- GR/IR reconciliations.
- Perform month end closing duties for multiple entities.
- Clearing down aged debt balances and resolving queries
- Report on duplicate payments.
- Support the service desk function.
- Support with audit controls testing.
- Ad-hoc project based duties.
These roles will need languages skills - Swedish, Dutch, Danish or Czech.
About You
It is important that you have previous experience within Purchase to Pay or Accounts Payable - preferably within a Shared Service Centre environment. There are multiple roles available and we are looking for people with fluent Swedish, Dutch, Danish or Czech. If you have completed your AAT this will improve the scope of your application, however candidates qualified by experience will also be considered.
This is a fast paced environment with a large Purchase to Pay function, as such you will be comfortable working in a team and have the ability to adapt to change while adhering to strict deadlines. If you have knowledge of SAP and experience with SOX then this would be seen as an advantage.
This is a great role to utilise both your Accounts experience and your language skills.
