A good head for numbers – GCSEs (or equivalent) in Maths and English, along with a basic understanding of finance and accounting processes. A bookkeeping qualification would be a bonus, but isn’t essential.

A collaborative mindset – you’ll enjoy building positive working relationships and contributing to shared team goals.
Previous experience within finance, accounts, administration or business support would be beneficial, particularly if you’ve worked with financial systems, databases, reporting or transactional processing.
Experience within professional services is welcomed, but it’s not essential – we’re equally interested in your potential, attitude and willingness to learn.
