Reporting to the Financial Controller, this role is responsible for maintaining accurate financial records and supporting the day-to-day running of the finance function.

• Providing general finance, administrative, and office support, including maintaining filing systems and ordering office supplies.

Requirements:

• Previous experience in a bookkeeping, finance assistant, or accounts role.
• Practical experience using Sage Accounting (Sage 200 would be advantageous).
• Experience processing invoices, payments, journals, and reconciliations.
• Experience working with multiple currencies and bank accounts.
• Good Microsoft Excel skills.
• AAT qualification (or studying towards Level 3 or above) or an equivalent bookkeeping qualification is desirable but not essential.
