AJW has a large Finance Department which is divided into four sub-departments. The department has grown rapidly over the last three years and has evolved to meet the demands of our fast-paced, dynamic company.
The Credit Control Department
As AJW trades internationally, many of the credit controllers employed use various languages, including Russian, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. The credit control role is dynamic and demands efficient management a large portfolio of customers on a daily basis.
Targeted individually and as a team on their performance, the credit controllers require the organisational skills required to deal with a high work load and the determination to ensure high cash collections.
The Purchase Ledger Department
Within the Purchase Ledger function you could be processing the large volume of supplier invoices received daily. This role requires a specific skill set which includes accuracy, working to strict deadlines and the patience required to resolve queries. Alternatively, you may be involved with the overhead function which includes processing the expenses and credit card claims. This requires many of the same skills, plus understanding of many HMRC rules. In addition, you could be processing and reconciling the various bank accounts required by the Company; the staff in this role have to process a high volume of transactions and deal with different currencies.
The Finance and Payroll Function
The finance function is involved with the reporting requirements necessary for a company of this size. This includes management accounts, statutory accounts, tax returns of all kinds and stock reporting. We have a variety of skill sets in this department, from part qualified to qualified accountants that have the necessary accounting experience required.
AJW also has an in-house payroll department, which ensures that we are all paid on time and correctly.

What our people say
Louise Bullingham
Senior Team Leader - Accounts Payable
Shaoma Mcdiarmid
Senior Assistant Accountant
Louise Bullingham
Senior Team Leader - Accounts Payable
I joined AJW Group in 2004 when I was looking to get back into the workplace after having my first baby. A colleague recommended me to the Finance Director and I was employed on a part-time basis doing the filing.
From there, my career flourished and I worked my way up to becoming Senior Team Leader, Accounts Payable, a position I have held since 2016 and one that I really enjoy. I would never have thought I could be part of a finance team coming from a PA background and I value the opportunity greatly.
AJW has been very supportive in offering flexible hours over the years, allowing me to juggle being a working mother. Plus, the social side of the business is brilliant. I enjoy being part of a fun, friendly and enthusiastic team and the workload, although sometimes challenging, is very rewarding. Knowing that I have succeeded in getting a payment out on time to satisfied customers is fantastic. I also feel privileged to work in the modern and inspiring surroundings of the Slinfold headquarters.

Our People Team promotes a flexible and caring culture, which has the warmest effect on staff wellbeing and gives a feeling of belonging. I appreciate the work life balance here at AJW.
The complex nature of the organisation means you are never bored, and I enjoy the opportunities to delve into the sea of data to bring value to the business.
