Finance Assistant – Leeds (LS10)
Are you an experienced finance professional with payroll experience looking for a varied finance role? Do you enjoy working as part of a supportive team where no two days are the same?
We're recruiting for a Finance Assistant to join a well-established business based in Leeds. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with payroll experience who is looking to broaden their finance skills within a busy and supportive finance team.
