Role Purpose
As a Finance Operations Administrator, you will support day-to-day transactional finance processes with a strong focus on accuracy, control discipline, and timely delivery. You may sit within a Finance Shared Services function or a local finance team, supporting sectors such as Banking, Insurance, Retail, Logistics, Telecoms, or Manufacturing. This role suits someone who enjoys structured finance operations work, takes ownership of process steps end to end, and understands the importance of evidence and audit trail.

What You Will Be Trusted With
You will process invoices accurately and efficiently, ensuring the right approvals are in place and exceptions are handled through the correct controls. You will support payment runs by preparing documentation, checking approvals, and maintaining clear audit evidence. You will respond to supplier and customer queries, investigate discrepancies, and resolve issues promptly while keeping stakeholders informed. You will maintain clean master data, ensuring supplier and customer records are accurate and up to date to prevent downstream issues.

You will also support accounts receivable activities such as raising invoices, allocating cash, reconciling receipts, and chasing overdue balances in line with agreed credit control processes. Depending on the team, you may support billing cycles, reconciliations, month-end close activities, and basic payroll administration inputs, ensuring deadlines are met and controls are followed.

What Matters Most Here
Accuracy, consistency, and ownership are critical. You will be valued for spotting errors early, following process, documenting actions clearly, and escalating when something does not look right. Strong communication matters because you will work with finance colleagues, business stakeholders, and external suppliers and customers to keep transactions moving and issues resolved.

Experience
Experience in one or more of the following is preferred: Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, billing, credit control, reconciliations, payment runs, or payroll administration support. ERP exposure is helpful, and strong Excel skills are expected, including using spreadsheets to track queries, reconcile data, and support reporting.
