Are you an experienced finance professional looking to join a reputable, friendly business where no two days are the same?

Our client, based in Burton-upon-Trent, is seeking a hands-on Accounts Supervisor to join their small, dedicated finance team. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, has strong all-round transactional finance experience, and is happy to get involved wherever needed.

The role comes with an excellent benefits package, generous holidays, and on-site parking.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the sales ledger process across multiple currencies, including preparing and issuing invoices, posting payments, reconciling accounts, and producing month-end reports.
• Carry out credit checks for new customers and ensure accurate setup of new accounts on internal systems.
• Oversee credit control activities by following up on overdue balances, maintaining regular customer contact, and resolving payment or invoice discrepancies efficiently.
• Act as the first point of contact for queries within the finance team (two direct reports) and other departments, escalating issues where appropriate.
• Monitor workload and deadlines across the department, ensuring tasks are completed on time and highlighting any risks to the Financial Controller.
• Support the training and development needs of team members, helping to build knowledge and confidence within the department.
• Assist the Financial Controller with month-end close and other reporting requirements.
• Contribute to ongoing improvements in finance processes and systems to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
• Provide cover for colleagues and undertake additional tasks as required to support the wider finance function.

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience in transactional finance, including sales ledger, credit control, and reconciliations. Payroll experience would be advantageous but not essential
• Strong communication and organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
• A proactive and hands-on approach, suited to working in a small, collaborative team.
