About the Role
We're looking for a Finance Assistant to join our busy Finance Team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to start or develop a career in finance and associated Insurance business administration.
They do not need extensive finance experience, but need to be naturally organised, comfortable working with numbers, and enjoy investigating problems and finding solutions. I am looking for someone who demonstrates common sense, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.
Working closely with colleagues across the business, they will help ensure financial transactions are processed accurately, discrepancies are investigated promptly, and records are maintained to a high standard.
