If you enjoy investigating discrepancies, working with stock systems, and improving processes, this role will suit you well.

Bank & Cash

Supporting payment runs
Working with bank feeds and ensuring transactions are correctly recorded
Posting cash and credit card expenses and ensuring VAT is correctly recorded

General Finance Support

Maintaining accurate records in Sage 50 Accounts
Posting journals (accruals, prepayments, fixed assets and adjustments)
Supporting month-end processes
Assisting with process improvements and system efficiencies

What We’re Looking For

Essential

Experience in a finance assistant or bookkeeping role
Strong working knowledge of Sage 50 Accounts
Experience with foreign currency transactions
Experience in a stock-based / distribution environment
Solid understanding of 3-way matching (PO, GRN, Invoice)

Experience with:

Supplier reconciliations
Bank reconciliations
Customer reconciliations
P&L & Balance Sheet management
Good Excel skills (sorting, lookups, basic formulas)
High attention to detail

Desirable (but not essential)

AAT qualification (or currently studying)
Exposure to process improvement

Job Types: Permanent, Full-time

Pay: £30,000.00 per year

Benefits:
