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 SaaS 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 ownAccounting, month-end close and financial reporting

• Own month-end close activities, journals, accruals, prepayments and supporting schedules.
• Maintain the integrity of the general ledger, subledgers and trial balance.
• Complete bank and balance-sheet reconciliations, investigating and resolving unexplained balances.
• Produce accurate management accounts, cash-flow information and clear explanations of financial movements.
• Coordinate year-end schedules, audit evidence and information for external accountants and specialist advisers.

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
