About the Role

This is an opportunity for someone at the beginning of their finance career who has a basic understanding of accounting principles and, most importantly, the desire to learn, work hard and develop.
Initially, you will support the day-to-day finance function across bookkeeping, purchase and sales ledger, reconciliations and payments. As your experience develops, you will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility across month-end, management reporting, inventory, international finance and financial analysis.
The business is expected to grow significantly, creating a genuine opportunity for the role to develop with it.

- Prepare routine journals and maintain accurate accounting records.
- Assist with supplier payment runs and payment administration.
- Process expenses and maintain supporting documentation.
Month-End & Reporting
- Support month-end close, reconciliations, journals, management reporting and basic financial analysis as your experience develops.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

What We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who is driven, curious, reliable and eager to develop.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don't need to arrive with years of experience. We do expect you to take ownership of your work, ask questions, respond to feedback and make the most of the opportunities available to you.
You will work closely with the Head of Finance and gain exposure to both the finance function and the wider business.
Training & Development
This role is intended to grow with the individual.
You will receive hands-on training and mentoring, with the opportunity to broaden your responsibilities as your knowledge and capability develop.
Where appropriate, we will support you in studying towards an AAT qualification.
The business is entering a period of significant growth, and the finance function will develop alongside it. For someone with the right attitude and ambition, there is significant scope to take on greater responsibility and build a broad career in finance.
Working Arrangements
This is a fully remote UK role, with occasional travel for team meetings and wider business activities.
Applications are welcome from across the UK, although there is a preference for candidates based in Newcastle upon Tyne or the wider North East to allow for occasional in-person working with the Head of Finance.
