Hands-on accounting experience in SAP, Oracle Financials, Net Suite, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage Intacct, Workday Financial Management or a comparable enterprise finance ERP is essential.

About Script Assist
Script Assist is a UK healthcare technology company providing software and operating infrastructure for private clinical and pharmacy services.
Our platform connects clinics, pharmacies, prescribers, patients and operational teams, supporting tens of thousands of transactions each month. We provide the technology; we do not provide clinical care.
We are a growing Saa S business with a lean operating model and important enterprise customer relationships. Our finance challenge is to translate customer contracts and operational activity into accurate billing, reliable accounting and clear financial reporting.
You will work closely with finance leadership, founders and operational colleagues, with substantial responsibility for running and improving core finance processes. Previous healthcare experience is not required.
What you will own Accounting, month-end close and financial reporting
You should be able to explain and substantiate the accounts—not simply coordinate their preparation. Customer billing, revenue and accounts receivable
Translate customer agreements, pricing schedules and approved commercial changes into accurate invoice calculations. Reconcile operational activity and source data to billing, identifying missing, duplicated or incorrectly priced charges. Maintain controlled pricing records, supporting calculations and evidence for customer invoices. Investigate billing discrepancies, credit notes and customer queries. Reconcile invoices, revenue recognition, customer receipts and outstanding balances, including deferred or accrued revenue where relevant. Improve contract-to-invoice and order-to-cash processes.Experience with subscription billing, usage-based billing, transaction-based charges, contract-specific pricing or service-delivery billing is particularly valuable.
The central question is: how do we know that everything that should have been billed has been billed—and that every invoice is correct? Internal controls and process improvement Identify financial risks and introduce practical controls across revenue, expenditure, payments, payroll inputs and reporting. Strengthen approvals and controls over customer and supplier master data, pricing changes, credit notes and bank-detail changes. Establish dependable close checklists, reconciliation routines, supporting documentation and audit trails. Maintain appropriate segregation of duties and independent approvals for sensitive transactions. Work with operational and technical colleagues to resolve recurring problems at their source.
We need someone who has implemented or improved controls , not solely audited or tested them. Cash, accounts payable and financial operations Maintain visibility over cash balances, receivables, payment commitments and working capital. Prepare payment runs and supporting information within agreed approval arrangements. Review supplier charges, recurring expenditure and payroll inputs for completeness and accuracy. Keep accounts payable, accounts receivable and routine financial operations organised and dependable. ERP, financial systems and data Use the finance ERP directly for accounting transactions, reconciliations, reporting and month-end close. Understand how transactions move from source systems through subledgers into the general ledger. Improve accounting dimensions, reporting, data quality and finance workflows. Build controlled Excel analyses and reconciliations with clear checks and exception reporting. Work with internal colleagues or external specialists on system improvements and automation.
Essential backgroundCompleted professional accounting qualification: CA, ACA, ACCA, CPA or equivalent. Typically 6–10 years of post-qualification experience , including substantial industry experience. Relevant responsibility matters more than an exact number. Personal ownership of month-end close, balance-sheet reconciliations and day-to-day accounting for a business, legal entity or substantial business unit. At least two years of hands-on operational accounting experience in a relevant finance ERP. Practical involvement in customer billing, revenue, receivables and cash—not exclusively general-ledger reporting. Experience introducing or improving financial controls. Strong Excel and analytical skills, with the ability to investigate discrepancies and substantiate calculations. Clear written and spoken English and confidence working with UK stakeholders. Ability to own outcomes with limited supervision while personally performing detailed accounting work.
CA Intermediate or part-qualified status alone does not meet the professional qualification requirement.
Relevant ERP experience
Relevant systems include:
SAP: SAP S/4 HANA Finance, SAP ECC / FI, SAP Business One. Oracle Financials: Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials, Oracle E-Business Suite / EBS Financials. Oracle Net Suite: Net Suite ERP and Financials. Microsoft Dynamics: Dynamics 365 Business Central / D365 BC, Dynamics NAV, Dynamics 365 Finance, Dynamics AX. Sage Intacct. Workday Financial Management.Strong experience in one relevant ERP environment is sufficient—you do not need experience in all of them.
Your experience must include personally operating accounting processes. Read-only reporting, audit access, ERP consulting or system administration alone is insufficient. Experience limited to Tally, Quick Books or Xero , without relevant ERP experience elsewhere in your career, does not meet this requirement.
Particularly valuable experienceAudit training at EY, Deloitte, Pw C, KPMG or another established accounting firm , followed by broad industry accounting responsibilities. Entity controllership or operational finance experience in B2 B Saa S, software, technology, IT services, professional services or other businesses with complex contractual billing . Improving close processes, implementing financial controls or contributing to finance-system changes.
Big Four experience is preferred, not essential. We assess the accounting processes you have personally owned and the judgement you bring.
What makes this opportunity different
This is an opportunity to apply strong accounting and systems discipline across a whole finance function, with direct access to decision-makers and visible impact on how the business operates.
You should enjoy both parts of the role: doing the accounting accurately and building better ways of doing it .
When applying, please make clear which ERP systems you have used, which accounting processes you personally performed, and the business or legal-entity responsibilities you owned.
