Finance Associate - Accounts Payable (Lead)

Oxford Quantum Circuits
Reading, Berkshire

At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve successfully transitioned quantum computing from an academic dream into a commercial reality. The most exciting thing is that we’re just getting started.

The Role

You’ll lead the day-to-day AP function while partnering closely with Finance and cross-functional teams.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll combine operational execution with continuous improvement, helping modernise systems, strengthen controls, and support month-end processes.

What You'll Be Working On

  • Own and manage the end-to-end Accounts Payable process, including hands-on invoice processing when needed
  • Oversee invoice workflows, ensuring accurate coding, matching, and timely posting
  • Prepare and review supplier payment runs, ensuring controls and approvals are followed
  • Drive automation and system improvements (e.g. NetSuite workflows, invoice tools) to enhance scalability
  • Reconcile credit cards and manage expense processing in line with company policy
  • Support month-end and year-end close, including accruals, GRNI, and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to resolve discrepancies and improve processes

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in an Accounts Payable or Finance Associate role
  • Comfortable balancing hands-on processing with driving process improvements
  • Strong attention to detail with a high level of accuracy
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Confident communicator with internal and external stakeholders
  • Experience with accounting systems (e.g. NetSuite preferred)
  • Proficient in Excel

The 'Nice-to-Haves'

  • AAT qualified (or equivalent)
  • Experience in a fast-paced or scaling business

Why Join OQC

You will join a world-class team at the forefront of the next computational era. We offer a culture of bold innovation, the chance to work with unique lab infrastructure, and the opportunity to see your work redefine the limits of computation.
