About You

We're looking for someone who is organised, accurate and confident working with data, with strong administration and Excel skills.

You may have previous experience in a Finance Assistant, Accounts Assistant or similar role, but this is not essential. We would also be keen to hear from strong administrators who are looking to move into a finance-focused position.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for a strong administrator looking to take the next step into finance, or an experienced Finance Assistant looking for a new opportunity.

If you have strong administration skills, are confident with Excel and are keen to develop your career within finance, we'd love to hear from you.
