Temporary Finance Assistant; Accounts Payable

Temporary Finance Assistant (Accounts Payable) - Plymouth - £30-£32k FTE + remote working

Trial Balance Consulting are pleased to be working with a large and well-established organisation within the education sector, to recruit an experienced Finance Assistant for a short-term temporary assignment of approximately 4-6 weeks.

This is a demanding role that would be well suited to someone confident in their technical knowledge and comfortable supporting and guiding others on best practice, not simply processing invoices.

• End-to-end Accounts Payable invoice processing
• Monitoring the finance inbox, prioritising workload effectively
• Liaising with suppliers to resolve queries
• Working closely with school administration teams to support purchase order raising and Goods receipting (GRNs)
• Ensuring accuracy of invoices, including correct PO information and appropriate VAT treatment and coding

This opportunity would suit an experienced AP professional with a strong grasp of AP fundamentals, including VAT treatment and PO processes. You’ll be confident communicating with both suppliers and internal stakeholders, with the ability to guide others on correct procedures where required. Previous experience within a school or trust environment would be highly desirable, though not essential. Organised, proactive and comfortable working at pace, this is an excellent opportunity for someone seeking a short-term, flexible assignment within a supportive and collaborative team.
