AnyVan makes moving anything anywhere, easier, more affordable and greener for everyone. With Over 8 million customers across the UK and Europe since our launch over a decade ago, we’re proud to be known as the largest, fastest growing tech company in the logistics industry.

Like many popular marketplaces, we’re asset light - i.e., we don’t own any vehicles or employ any drivers. We work with our transport partners and use technology to disrupt the entire delivery and moving process to optimise the most efficient journeys.

Sustainability is a core part of AnyVan’s mission. We’re proud to say we’ve achieved carbon-neutral status on all our transport moves.

Our aim is to build and maintain a first-class finance function, with this role being part of the team responsible for the full day-to-day operations of the function. They will play a key role in delivering a robust, reconciled, and controlled environment from which we maximise our cashflow, appropriately and accurately recognise cost and liabilities, deal with issues promptly and ensure the ERP system contains high quality data in order for us to understand our financial position at all times.

- Maintaining vendor information within the accounting system
- Review the accounts payable ledger on a monthly basis, and be able to provide a full explanation regarding any aged or unusual balances
- Assist in the annual audit, providing documentation and explanations where required
- Identify any inefficiencies in the accounts payable process and suggest improvements
- Helping to support the business where they have relevant queries or requests.

**Set for Success**:

- Excellent attention to detail and organisation skills
- At least a basic understanding of accounting principles, with an understanding of accruals and prepayments
- Good self -discipline around deadlines and the ability to manage competing priorities
- Flexible and enthusiastic about new challenges; as a scale-up business we need to be adaptable and ready to switch focus at short notice
- Excited to grow your career and expand your knowledge within the world of finance; keen to learn from your manager and other senior members of the team in order to build on your existing skills

**Perks of the job**:

- A salary that reflects your value: higher than market average
- Take a Break: 20 days of holiday plus public holidays and Christmas Eve on us
- Keeping you healthy: ZAR1,000 per month towards medical aid with Momentum or Discovery
- Prepare for the future: Pension Fund with 5% employee and 5% employer contributions
- Travel: We've got your evening commute covered, car park space if you drive and showers and towels if you cycle
- Keeping you refreshed: Enjoy an in-house barista and free fruit every day
- Social Scene: Thursday and Friday drinks, and regular social activities
- Celebrating Success: 1/4 performance awards with prizes and an annual performance awards - last years winners enjoyed a 4 day all expenses paid trip to the French alps
- Skills Booster: Opportunity to join a disruptive Technology Leader and be part of a fast-growing, innovative company reshaping the industry

**DE&I**

In our pursuit of fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, we invite individuals from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. Together, let's create a culture where every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every person is empowered to thrive.

Please note if we are able to support visa sponsorship it will be highlighted in the requirements section of the job advert.
