You'll assist with maintaining the Fixed Asset Register and supporting a range of core financial control activities. This includes updating records, processing accounting entries, and helping ensure financial information remains complete, accurate, and compliant.

Month-End & Financial Support

You'll play an important role in supporting month-end processes and helping Finance deliver accurate financial information. Working alongside colleagues across the team, you'll contribute to reconciliations, accounting adjustments, reporting activities, and audit preparation.

You may be involved in:

• Accruals and prepayments
• Deferred income and revenue adjustments
• Balance sheet reconciliations
• Audit support activities
• General month-end accounting processes

Organisation & Delivery

This is a detail-heavy role where you'll manage multiple priorities at once. You'll keep processes moving, respond to requests, maintain documentation, and support colleagues across the organisation.

Success in this role will come from being organised, reliable, and committed to delivering accurate work. You'll enjoy working as part of a collaborative team, taking ownership of your responsibilities, and continuously looking for ways to improve processes and efficiencies.

About You

We're open to candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. You may not have worked in a role exactly like this before, but you should be able to demonstrate many of the skills, experience and capabilities needed to succeed.

You'll likely have experience working within a finance, accounting or finance administration environment and be comfortable working with financial data, systems and processes. You enjoy working with detail, take pride in producing accurate work, and understand the importance of consistency and reliability within a Finance function.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have experience supporting finance operations, accounting processes, or transactional finance activities
• Are highly organised and comfortable managing multiple priorities and deadlines
• Enjoy working with data, systems, and detailed financial information
• Take pride in accuracy and naturally spot errors, inconsistencies, or gaps
• Communicate confidently with colleagues, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders
• Take ownership of your work and follow tasks through to completion

You'll also be someone who is proactive, collaborative and willing to support colleagues across a broad range of Finance activities. Strong attention to detail, a methodical approach and a willingness to learn will help you succeed in this role.

Experience That Could Be Beneficial

The following experience would be beneficial, although none are essential:

• Experience using Sage or similar accounting systems
• Exposure to purchase ledger, sales ledger, cashbook or month-end activities
• Experience processing invoices, expenses, payments or reconciliations
• Familiarity with VAT, financial controls or audit processes
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with financial data

We recognise that people build experience in different ways and don't expect candidates to meet every point listed above. If your background aligns with many of these areas and you're excited by the opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.
