Interim Accounts Payable Assistant - Bristol - North

Are you immediately available or available upon short notice?

Element Recruitment is pleased to be working exclusively with a successful organisation in North Bristol. They are looking for an experienced Accounts Payable Assistant to join their finance team on a temporary basis for 2–3 months. This interim role has become available due to an increased workload after implementing their new accounting system. 

You’ll be stepping into a team that’s navigating a transition – they've got a number of loose ends and legacy processes to tie up, and we need someone who’s confident, efficient, and can hit the ground running with minimal hand-holding.

Pay - £13ph - £14ph

37.5 hours a week

Parking on site. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Process a high volume of pre-approved supplier invoices accurately and efficiently.
• Match supplier payments to corresponding invoices within Sage.
• Retrieve invoices and statements from central Accounts inbox.
• Respond to supplier queries in a professional and timely manner.
• Provide general support to the finance team as required during this busy period.
• Use Excel to manage and reconcile data from some of our remaining spreadsheet-based processes.

You will need:

• Previous experience in an Accounts Payable or similar finance role.
• Ideally hands-on experience with Sage, but not essential if you’re a quick learner.
• Strong working knowledge of Excel – you don’t need to be an expert, but basic functionality (sorting, filtering, simple formulas) should be second nature.
• A proactive attitude – someone who takes ownership, asks the right questions, and can be trusted to get on with the job.
• Comfortable working in a 100% office-based role for the duration of the assignment.
