  • Early in your finance career (e.g. studying AAT or keen to progress), looking to build broader experience, or

  • Confident managing or supporting a sales ledger
  • Comfortable working with systems and Excel (including handling volume)
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
  • A clear communicator, able to deal with internal teams and customers
  • Proactive, with a problem-solving mindset

  • Supportive and low-ego culture
  • Strong internal knowledge and long-tenured team members
  • Opportunity to take ownership without micromanagement

  • Friday: 8:15am – 1:15pm (early finish)
  • Hybrid working: up to 2 days from home (after training period)

  • £35,000 – £40,000 depending on experience
  • Bonus scheme (up to 15%)
  • 9% employer pension contribution
  • 23 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Additional leave incentives (service + attendance)
  • Private medical (optional)
  • Salary sacrifice schemes (including electric cars)
  • Study support available
Why Apply?
