Full job description

EMJ is a values-driven company, and strong financial operations are essential to supporting our growth and success. We’re looking for a Graduate Finance Assistant who will play a vital role in ensuring the smooth and accurate running of day-to-day finance activities, providing reliable financial data to support strategic decision-making, and maintaining compliance with financial regulations. This role is key to supporting the wider business and ensuring EMJ continues to operate efficiently and effectively as we grow.

What you'll do:

Cash Collection: Ownership of the debtor ledger, proactively chase overdue invoices, maintain accurate records, and build strong customer relationships to resolve delays quickly. Monitor aged debt and escalate high-risk balances where required.
Payment Runs: Prepare and process monthly payment runs, ensuring payments are accurate, approved, and aligned with company controls. Prioritise payments effectively and maintain clear supplier communication.
Cash Flow Preparation:
Produce monthly cash flow forecasts, track actuals against forecast, and identify potential risks, shortfalls, or low cash points early.
Accounts Receivable (AR):
Ensure invoices are raised accurately and issued promptly, resolve billing queries efficiently, and work with internal teams to prevent invoicing delays.
Accounts Payable (AP):
Process supplier invoices accurately and on time, including matching, coding, posting to correct cost centres, and resolving supplier discrepancies.
Balance Sheet Reconciliations:
Complete monthly balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring balances are fully supported, discrepancies resolved promptly, and documentation remains audit-ready.
Credit Card Reconciliations:
Reconcile credit card expenses, ensuring receipts are provided and spending complies with EMJ company policies. Escalate any unusual or non-compliant transactions.
Month-End Support:
Support month-end processes through preparation of prepayments, accruals, journals, and departmental cost analysis, ensuring deadlines are met accurately.

Who you are:

A Recent Degree: A degree in Accounting, Finance or something similar with demonstrable experience using Excel
Basic Accounting Knowledge: Good understanding of accounting principles including debits and credits, accruals, prepayments, general ledger processes, and their link to month-end reporting.
Accuracy and Systems Skills: Strong attention to detail and ability to work accurately under pressure. Confident using intermediate Excel.
Organisation and Communication: Well organised with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines. Strong communication skills when working with internal teams, suppliers, and customers.
Ownership and Proactive Approach: Able to take ownership of tasks, work independently, and see work through to completion. Proactive in identifying, resolving, or escalating issues when needed.

It would be a bonus if...

Finance Experience (AP & AR): Experience in a finance or accounts role with exposure to accounts payable and/or receivable, including invoice processing, ledger management, and payment or collection support.
Cash Management Experience: Experience supporting cash flow forecasting, cash collection, or credit control, with an understanding of how daily transactions impact cash flow.
Systems Knowledge: Experience using accounting and workflow systems such as Xero, Zoho, and Asana.

Salary: £30,000
Reports to: Assistant Accountant
Hours: 8.30am – 5pm, Mon-Fri
Working pattern: Hybrid, a minimum of 3 days in the office (5 days a week in the office during probation)
