ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SPECIALIST – OLDHAM

£26,000 – £28,000
Oldham
Supporting a busy, fast-paced manufacturing business

This is for the people who like things done properly.

Not rushed.
Not messy.
Not “we’ll fix it later.”

If you take pride in clean ledgers, accurate payments, and keeping suppliers happy (and quiet )… keep reading.

THE ROLE

You’ll be owning the Accounts Payable function end-to-end within a busy manufacturing environment — where volume is high, expectations are clear, and accuracy matters.

Day to day, you’ll be:

Processing and coding supplier invoices (PO matching, VAT, the works)
Managing payment runs and making sure everything goes out on time and correctly
Reconciling supplier statements and sorting any discrepancies or queries
Handling month-end tasks including accruals and prepayments
Supporting intercompany reconciliations where needed
Keeping controls tight, compliant, and audit-ready (SOX exposure is a bonus)
Working closely with suppliers and internal teams to keep everything running smoothly

No fluff. Just a solid, hands-on AP role where you can take ownership.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Experience in an Accounts Payable role (end-to-end ideally)
Confident with systems like Sage 50 / Orderwise (or similar)
Strong attention to detail — you spot things others miss
Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
Good Excel skills
Able to manage your own workload and get things done

WHY THIS ROLE?

This isn’t one of those “sit and process invoices all day with zero impact” roles.

You’ll be:

Trusted to own your area
Working in a business where AP actually matters
Part of a team that needs someone reliable, organised, and switched onIf you’re the kind of person who:
Likes structure
Takes pride in accuracy
And doesn’t need chasing to get things done

You’ll do very well here.
