Accounts Receivable Specialist

London, Remote

£30,000-£35,000

Initially a temporary role with the view to go permanent

Our client is a high-growth technology business operating at the forefront of the future of work – and they need sharp, motivated finance professionals to help fuel that growth. We’re looking for an Accounts Receivable Specialist to join their finance team on a temp-to-perm basis, starting with an initial 3-month contract that is fully expected to become a long-term home for the right person.

This is an excellent opportunity if you’re early in your finance career and hungry to grow in a fast-paced, tech-forward environment.

Your day-to-day:

• Own and manage the end-to-end accounts receivable process, from invoice generation through to cash collection.

• Chase outstanding debts proactively and professionally, maintaining strong relationships with clients while protecting the business’s cash position.
• Monitor aged debt reports and escalate risk accounts in a timely manner.
• Reconcile customer accounts and resolve billing disputes with speed and accuracy.
• Work closely with the Sales and Client Success teams to resolve payment queries and improve the client billing experience.
• Support the wider finance team with month-end reporting and cash flow forecasting inputs.
• Identify process improvements and help automate or streamline AR workflows.
• Maintain accurate records within our finance systems and contribute to audit readiness.

The skills we’re looking for.

• 1-2 years of experience in an Accounts Receivable, Credit Control, or Finance Assistant role.

• A confident communicator, comfortable chasing payments over email and phone without damaging client relationships.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical, organised approach to managing a ledger.
• Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets. Experience with accounting software is a bonus.
• A proactive mindset. You spot issues before they become problems and bring solutions, not just updates.
• Comfort working independently in a remote environment while staying engaged with the team.
• Genuine interest in working for a high-growth, purpose-driven tech company.

A business worth being part of.

You’ll be joining a team that genuinely believes in flexibility, so it’s only natural that this role is fully remote. Work from wherever you do your best thinking, stay connected to a world-class team, and grow with a company that’s growing fast. Further details about the business will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
