Finance Officer - Accounts Receivable (AR)

Our Finance team is looking to recruit a Finance Officer to join our Accounts Receivable team. You'll support the work and transactions that the British Heart Foundation (BHF) perform for us to fund lifesaving research.

As an Accounts Receivable Finance Officer, you'll take responsibility for the accurate processing of all income streams across the business. You'll also contribute to the year-end accounts and audit.

To deliver our strategy we strive for excellence in everything we do. We recognise the importance of robust financial control, reporting and analysis to provide the necessary insight for key findings, strong performance management and effective financial planning.

Working arrangements

This is a blended role, where your work will be dual located between your home and our London office.

The use of our office spaces is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do. This may vary from time to time, so you must be prepared to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause. Most of our colleagues on blended contracts can expect to spend some time in their office each week, on average.

Excited by the role, but not sure you tick every box? You may need a little more help balancing your work and home life, so please feel free to explore the flexibility you may need with us at the application or interview stage.

With previous experience of high volume and accurate transaction processing work, you'll have experience of working closely with a range of stakeholders from different teams and with different levels of finance knowledge.

With intermediate Microsoft Excel skills, you'll have experience of accounting systems (experience of SUN, Microsoft Dynamics AX, Infor Q&A and Atlas is desirable). You'll also have accurate transaction processing skills and strong analytical and reconciliation skills.

You'll be able to work independently but also contribute and collaborate as part of a team. Intellectually curious and challenging, you'll be proactive with a positive 'can do' attitude. Able to works well under pressure, you'll be able to prioritise work, building relationships with colleagues across Finance and the wider BHF.

Every single one of us is vulnerable to the heartbreak caused by heart and circulatory diseases - they are the world's biggest killers. But the research we fund represents hope. And nothing matters more than finding cures and treatments that give us more time with the people we love.

We value and respect every individual's unique contribution, celebrate diversity, and make inclusion part of what we do every day.

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, Igniting Change, along with our internal EDI group, Kaleidoscope, and a growing number of employee network groups (our Affinity Groups), help us create an environment where all our colleagues and volunteers can succeed
