Think A&F are supporting a brilliant, growing business through a major ERP implementation and they need an AP superstar, ideally with a few months/years experience to help the finance team through a busy transition.

This is a rare chance withing an incredable company to soak up experience across multiple finance teams, build confidence in a live ERP environment, and make a visible impact from day one.

Why this is a great move

• Huge learning curve, this role will give you hands-on experience with a brand-new ERP. You’ll see how a central finance function really operates at scale, from invoice flow to payments and supplier care.
• Genuine exposure from within a great business, as you will support AP, supplier queries, statement recs, payment prep, and month-end routines, great for a junior looking to step up.
• Fast process, one-stage interview with a quick turnaround. If you’re the right fit, they won’t want to let you go.

What you’ll do

• Process and push through high-volume AP invoices supporting with the new ERP and keep documentation clean and organised.
• Resolve supplier queries, help with supplier statement reconciliations and general ledger maintenance.
• Support payment runs and routine month-end activities as needed.
• Be a calm pair of hands during a busy period, light on Excel, heavy on accuracy, momentum and teamwork.

The kind of person who’ll thrive

• Early-career / junior finance profile (AP, finance admin, data-heavy roles) with great attention to detail and pride in clean, accurate work.
• A self-starter who is comfortable learning with minimal support, stays curious, and communicates clearly with teammates and suppliers.
• Comfortable with systems and data (ERP experience is a plus, but not essential, attitude is).
• Happy to be in the office 3–4 days a week to support consultants and the team during implementation.

Practical bits

• Start: ASAP (ideally within 2 weeks).
• Pattern: Hybrid with 3 days onsite (occasionally 4 during project peaks).
• Hours: Flexible around core times (e.g., 8:00–16:30 or 8:30–17:00).
• Term: Initial 3 months with strong potential to extend based on performance and project needs.
