The Opportunity

An established and growing international business is seeking an experienced Finance Assistant to join its finance team on an interim basis for an initial 3-6 month contract.

Following a period of significant growth, the business is looking for additional support within its transactional finance function. This role will play a key part in ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the finance department, providing essential support across accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoice processing, and bank reconciliations.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on finance professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, can quickly build relationships, and is confident operating independently from day one.

The Role

Working closely with the wider finance team, you will provide support across a broad range of transactional finance activities.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Processing high volumes of supplier invoices accurately and efficiently
• Supporting both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions
• Performing daily and monthly bank reconciliations
• Allocating incoming and outgoing payments
• Investigating and resolving supplier and customer queries
• Maintaining accurate financial records and supporting financial controls
• Assisting with month-end activities where required
• Supporting the wider finance team with ad hoc finance administration
• Helping ensure continuity and efficiency across the transactional finance function during a busy period

About You

The successful candidate will be a proactive and adaptable finance professional who is comfortable working in a changing environment.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience in a transactional finance role
• Strong Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable experience
• Excellent reconciliation skills
• The ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
• Good Excel skills and confidence working with finance systems
• A positive and flexible approach, with the ability to quickly add value within a busy team

Experience using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's on Offer

• Immediate start available
• Competitive salary of £32,000 - £35,000
• Initial 3-6 month contract
• Opportunity to join a growing business and make a real impact
• Varied and hands-on role within a supportive finance team
