Accounts & Office Assistant – Adoption Leave cover (3.5 month contract with possible extension), estimated start mid-October 2026
MACHINESHOP are on the hunt for a brilliantly organised and detail-oriented Accounts & Office Assistant to support our small but extremely busy team during our CFO’s Adoption Leave.
If you’ve previously worked in office-based admin & finance support roles ideally within the film/tv/ad or related industries, we are very keen to hear from you. If you have experience in production, great – it’s not a requirement but will definitely help with your overall understanding of the type of work that we do.
Duties will include…
- Assisting our Office Manager with finance and admin support; logging, digitising and filing receipts and invoices, processing freelancer paperwork, chasing timesheets & invoices, raising sales invoices and chasing payments.
- All standard office duties, including answering phones & the door, helping our team to look after visitors, booking couriers, purchasing etc.
- Supporting the wider team and just generally lending a hand with projects or equipment hires, as needed.
