Accounts Administrator

Company Description

We are a company of artisans and innovators. For over 30 years, we’ve applied our creativity and craftsmanship to the world’s arts, entertainment and experience industries. We design the intimate and the epic, and love sharing our work with the world.

Our Finance team ensure we can continue our work by delivering the essential financial services that power our operations.

Job Description

We’re looking for our next Accounts Administrator, primarily focused on Accounts Payable but also providing wider financial administration support for the team.

This role is expected to evolve as we complete our implementation of a new ERP system (Odoo), but to start off you’ll be working on:

• Processing all domestic and international supplier invoices
• Creating domestic/international one-off and periodic payments
• Coordinating the review and approval of payment batches.
• Setting up and maintaining direct debits/recurring payments
• Reconciliation of purchase order accounts and company credit cards, and resolving any issues
• Working with the finance team to ensure batches are reviewed and approved
• Working with our crew on any queries and managing the Accounts Payable inbox

As you grow into the role and our ERP system becomes embedded, there may be the opportunity to provide administrative support for wider functions, including accounts receivable, payroll, contractor payments, reconciliations and reporting… and more.

Please see our job description here for more details.

Who we’re looking for

 You’ll need to have some experience with Accounts Payable, but if you have covered a wide range of administrative function in a finance team, then we’re keen to hear from you.

We also need you to be:

• Proactive and someone who takes initiative
• A great communicator, able to confidently talk to our crew and vendors and build good working relationships with a wide range of people
• Excellent time management skills and the ability to organise your work efficiently
• A strong understanding of finance administration processes

You’ll also be someone who is comfortable learning new programmes and tools, and has experience using financial systems.

More info and next steps

You’ll be joining a friendly finance team, who have busy roles but are always supportive.

Otherwise, if you're keen, please apply by  29 March 2026.
