This role ensures that client invoices are issued and collected on time, trainer and vendor payments follow policy, and all financial processes remain compliant, auditable, and aligned with the unique operational demands of the training industry.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Monitor AR and AP daily to ensure timely client collections and on‑schedule trainer/vendor payments.
• Develop, update, and enforce compliance with internal SOPs covering invoicing, collections, procurement, approvals, and payment cycles.
• Review exceptions such as urgent trainer payments, last‑minute venue bookings, or client‑requested billing changes for approval.
• Conduct periodic audits of AR/AP processes to identify risks, gaps, or non‑compliance.
• Maintain accurate documentation for government tenders, framework agreements, and corporate procurement requirements.
• Prepare compliance dashboards, aging reports, exception logs, and KPI summaries for management.
• Coordinate with Sales, Training Operations, Procurement, and Finance to ensure smooth end‑to‑end financial workflows.
• Support month‑end closing by ensuring all revenue and cost entries are compliant and properly documented.
• Train internal teams on updated financial procedures and compliance expectations.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; ACCA, CPA, CMA, or similar certifications are an advantage.
• 10+ years of experience in finance operations, internal controls, compliance, or audit.
• Experience in a training provider, education services, consulting firm, or project‑based business is preferred.
• Strong understanding of AR/AP cycles, contract‑based billing, and milestone‑based payments.
• High attention to detail with the ability to enforce procedures consistently.
• Strong communication skills to work cross‑functionally and influence teams without direct authority.
• Proficiency in ERP or finance systems; experience with CRM‑to‑finance workflows is a plus.
