Finance Assistant FTC
Not your typical Finance Assistant role, you’ll be joining a growing finance team, getting stuck into the detail and gaining exposure that can genuinely move your career forward.
The Opportunity
We’re working with a growing business that is looking to add an experienced Finance Assistant to their finance team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who already has a few years of Accounts Payable / transactional finance experience and is ready to take the next step in their career.
You’ll be joining a busy finance function where accuracy, organisation and attention to detail really matter. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit back and wait for tasks to come in — you’ll be hands-on, dealing with invoices, payments, reconciliations and supporting the wider finance team day to day.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Processing a high volume of supplier invoices accurately and efficiently
-
Matching invoices to purchase orders and resolving discrepancies
-
Managing supplier queries and maintaining strong supplier relationships
-
Preparing and processing payment runs
-
Completing bank and supplier statement reconciliations
-
Investigating and resolving invoice and payment issues
-
Supporting month-end processes and reporting
-
Maintaining accurate finance records and ensuring financial controls are followed
-
Assisting with wider transactional finance duties when required
-
Supporting the wider finance team with ad-hoc projects and tasks
About You
We’re looking for someone who already has a few years of relevant finance experience, ideally with a strong background in Accounts Payable or transactional finance.
You’ll ideally have:
-
2+ years’ experience within Accounts Payable or a similar transactional finance role
-
Strong understanding of the end-to-end AP process
-
Experience processing invoices and dealing with supplier queries
-
Good knowledge of reconciliations and payment processes
-
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
-
Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage deadlines
-
Good Excel skills
-
Experience using finance/accounting systems
-
A proactive, hands-on approach
-
The confidence to work independently while also being part of a wider finance team
Why Join?
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who already has a solid foundation in finance and wants to build on that experience within a supportive and established team.
You’ll get exposure to a broad range of finance processes, work alongside experienced finance professionals and have the opportunity to continue developing your career.
If you’re an experienced AP professional who enjoys being hands-on, organised and getting things done, we’d love to hear from you.
