- Prepare and post journals in NetSuite
- Perform bank and ledger reconciliations across the group's trading entities and multiple currencies
- Support quarterly VAT return preparation across UK and European entities
- Assist with month-end close, ensuring timely and accurate reporting
- Use NetSuite and Xero day-to-day; contribute to the Finance team's use of dashboards, prepayment reviews and credit-checking tools
- Contribute to process improvement and engagement with new tools as they're introduced
- Support the CFO and Financial Controller with ad hoc reporting as needed
What we're looking for
- 2+ years' experience in a Finance Officer, Accounts Officer, or similar role
- AAT qualified or actively studying
- Highly proficient in Excel (e.g. pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, filters, comfortable with large data)
- Experience with cloud accounting systems (NetSuite, Xero) preferred; equivalent experience elsewhere considered
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
- Strong communicator with internal customers across departments
- Self-motivated with the ability to prioritise and manage own workload
- Proactive, keen to learn, and interested in building broader finance skills
