Job Description:
We are currently seeking a reliable and detail-oriented Finance Assistant to join a leading international brand within their finance team on a 14-month maternity contract. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced purchase ledger clerk, accounts assistant or recent finance graduate looking to gain hands-on experience in a finance role.
Key Responsibilities:
* Accurately process purchase invoices and ensure proper coding and data entry.
* Reconcile supplier statements and investigate discrepancies.
* Assist in month-end financial reporting and account reconciliations.
* Address supplier queries and maintain strong professional relationships.
* Maintain up-to-date supplier accounts and records.
* Provide general administrative support to the finance team as required.
The Ideal Candidate:
* A graduate in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
* Strong attention to detail, accuracy, and a methodical approach to work.
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to handle supplier queries.
* Proficient in Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications.
* A proactive, team-oriented individual with the ability to work independently.
* Previous experience in a finance role is beneficial but not essential.
After a 3-month probationary period, the role will turn into a hybrid position (2 days from home), and is a great opportunity for a candidate with existing accountancy or finance experience seeking an interim position to further that understanding and exposure at an international business. Although they are also happy to consider a recent graduate in finance/accountancy looking for their first full-time role.
If you can tick the majority of the above requirements, have relevant experience/qualifications and feel like you can add something to the team, then we would love to hear from you.
