The Role

As Finance Assistant, you'll play a key role in ensuring accurate reconciliations, smooth month-end processes, and reliable financial reporting.

  • Contribute to finance process improvements, with exposure to an ERP rollout (Dynamics 365).

What We're Looking For

  • 1-3+ years' finance support / ledger / assistant accountant experience.
  • Strong bank reconciliation skills (must-have).
  • Good Excel knowledge (lookups, pivots, filters).
  • Experience with accounting software (Xero, Sage, QBO, or similar).
  • Deadline-driven, organised, and detail-focused.
  • Keen to learn and progress - study support is available.

Desirable:

  • E-commerce, or subscription background.
  • Foreign currency exposure.
  • ERP experience (Dynamics 365 a plus).
