About the role

If you’re an experienced Finance Assistant who knows their way around reconciliations, AP and month-end, this one should be pretty straightforward to get your head around.

This isn’t a trainee role, they need someone who’s already worked in a busy finance function, understands the fundamentals and can be trusted to get on with the job without needing their hand held.

𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻:
• Bank and balance sheet reconciliations
• Accounts Payable and invoice processing
• Supplier statement reconciliations
• Preparing payment runs
• Payroll schedules
• Intercompany recharges
• Credit control and chasing outstanding payments
• Accruals and prepayments
• Month-end processes
• Investigating and resolving discrepancies
• Producing internal finance reports

There’s a decent amount of variety, but the key thing is accuracy. They need someone who can spot when the numbers don’t look right, work out why and fix it.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿?
• Reconciliation experience
• Good Accounts Payable knowledge
• Experience supporting month-end
• Confident Excel skills
• Experience using accounting software
• Confidence dealing with suppliers and customers
• Experience chasing outstanding payments and handling difficult conversations
• The ability to prioritise when everything seems urgent

Basically, they’re looking for someone dependable – someone who knows what good looks like, takes ownership of their work and doesn’t need chasing to get things done.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂?
• An annual salary of up to £30k (depending on experience)
• Holiday package + your birthday off each year (nobody should work their birthday)
• Team socials
• Career progression
• Various brand discounts

If you’ve already built up good experience in a hands-on finance role and you’re looking for somewhere you can put that experience to use, apply now or get in touch today for more details.
