Full job description

Are you committed, with a can-do attitude? Want to be part of a fast-paced, growing team — with plenty of opportunities for career progression? If so, we have the perfect job for you! We're currently looking for an experienced, all-round Finance Assistant to join our expanding team.

Company Description

Watkins Energy is an energy company set up in July 2019 with the aim of providing best-in-class customer service in the fast-growing heat market. Offering holistic, end-to-end services, we specialise in the ongoing operation and management of both small and large-scale heat networks for developers, local authorities, housing associations and managing agents.

Heat networks are now a regulated market. Since January 2026, Ofgem has been the statutory regulator, and residential heat customers benefit from consumer protections and access to the Energy Ombudsman, comparable to those for gas and electricity. Watkins Energy is well placed for this new era: as a long-standing Registered Participant of the Heat Trust — the voluntary consumer-protection standard — we were already committed to operating our networks fairly, transparently and to the highest standards.

Going from strength to strength — currently serving around 11,000 customers, with our portfolio continuing to grow — we're looking for an accurate, well-organised all-rounder to join our finance team. In this varied, hands-on role you'll turn your hand to everything from generating invoices for chargeable works and managing incoming payments to credit control, setting up new suppliers, job costing and financial reporting. With accuracy and attention to detail at the heart of the role, the successful candidate will take real pride in getting the numbers right and keeping our records up to date.

This is a great role for someone who is a committed, accurate and motivated team player, keen to progress their career in a friendly and supportive work environment.

Role Purpose
The Finance Assistant is a true all-rounder within our finance team — a varied, hands-on role spanning everything from raising invoices and managing incoming payments to credit control, supplier set-up, job costing and financial reporting.

We are looking for a reliable, accurate and well-organised team player who enjoys variety, takes real pride in getting the detail right, and is happy to turn their hand to whatever the team needs. Reporting to the Head of Finance, IT, Data and Compliance, you will play an important part in keeping our finances accurate and up to date. Full training is provided, there is genuine scope to grow, and study support toward a professional qualification is available for the right candidate.

Key Responsibilities

Generate invoices for chargeable works, making sure they are accurate, properly supported and issued on time
Manage incoming payments — recording and allocating them accurately and keeping records up to date
Carry out credit control, issuing statements and reminders, chasing overdue accounts and building good relationships with clients
Assist with setting up new suppliers and processing supplier payments
Support job costing, helping to track costs against jobs and flag anything unexpected
Assist with financial reporting and month-end tasks
Carry out accurate data entry and keep financial records well organised across our systems
Respond to day-to-day finance queries and support customers, clients and colleagues
Provide general finance and administrative support, turning your hand to whatever the team needs

This list is not exhaustive. As a varied all-rounder role, duties will flex with the needs of the team, and full training is provided.

Person Specification

Essential:

A flexible, willing all-rounder who enjoys variety and is happy to help wherever needed
A high level of accuracy and strong attention to detail, especially with data entry and numbers
A genuine team player with a positive, can-do attitude
Well organised and reliable, able to manage a varied workload and meet deadlines
Confident basic Excel skills and comfortable learning new finance systems
Clear, friendly and professional communication with customers, clients and colleagues
Demonstrable experience of at least two years in a finance environment
GCSEs (or equivalent) at grade 4/C or above, including Maths and English
Eligibility to work in the UK

Desirable:

Experience raising invoices, credit control or managing payments
Experience setting up suppliers or processing supplier payments
Familiarity with accounting or finance systems
An understanding of job costing
AAT part-qualified or studying towards a finance qualification (study support available)
Knowledge of the energy, utilities, housing or property sectors

What we offer

Competitive salary, reviewed regularly
25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
Study support toward a professional finance qualification (e.g. AAT)
Workplace pension scheme
Option to buy up to 5 days’ additional holiday each year
Death-in-service insurance (2 × annual salary)
A friendly, supportive team and genuine opportunity to progress in a growing company

Join us at Watkins Energy and become part of a vibrant team dedicated to delivering exceptional heat services while supporting your professional development!
