Finance Assistant | £32,000 - £36,000 | Harewood

£32k - £36k per annum

The Opportunity

Growing SME based in Harewood is looking for an enthusiastic, diligent Finance Assistant to join their friendly and expanding finance team.

You’ll be number 2 to the Financial Controller for the business – supporting with all areas of transactional finance for the group (AP, sales ledger and credit control, payroll and expenses, reconciliations, month end reporting etc)

This is a genuinely varied, hands-on finance role where you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of a broad range of day-to-day accounting activities. Reporting to the Finance Manager, you’ll play an important role in keeping the finance function running smoothly.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to broaden their experience, make a real contribution and develop their career within finance in a fast-paced SME environment where no two days are the same! 

Your remit will include:

Purchase Ledger

  • Processing supplier invoices accurately and efficiently
  • Matching purchase orders, delivery notes and invoices
  • Preparing supplier payment runs
  • Reconciling supplier statements
  • Resolving invoice queries with suppliers and internal teams

Sales Ledger

  • Raising customer invoices
  • Allocating customer receipts
  • Monitoring outstanding debts
  • Chasing overdue payments whilst building and maintaining excellent working relationships
  • Maintaining accurate customer account records

Banking & Cash Management

  • Completing daily bank reconciliations
  • Posting receipts and payments
  • Supporting cash flow reporting
  • Monitoring company credit cards and employee expenses

Month-End & Management Accounts

  • Supporting month-end journals and reconciliations
  • Preparing balance sheet reconciliations
  • Assisting with accruals and prepayments
  • Supporting the production of monthly management accounts
  • Maintaining the fixed asset register where required

Payroll & General Finance

  • Supporting payroll administration and pension information
  • Maintaining employee finance records
  • Assisting with VAT returns and audit requirements
  • Maintaining accurate electronic financial records
  • Supporting the Finance Manager with ad hoc reporting and finance queries
  • Providing cover for other members of the finance team when required

You will need to have:

  • Previous experience in a finance/accounts role
  • Good understanding of double-entry bookkeeping
  • Purchase and Sales ledger experience
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Experience using accounting software such as Sage, Xero, Quickbooks or similar
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
  • A positive, practical and hands-on approach
  • Ability to work autonomously 

AAT qualification or studies towards AAT would be advantageous, as would previous experience in an SME environment.

This would suit someone who enjoys being involved across the finance function rather than being restricted to one area. If you’re looking for a varied finance role where you can take ownership, broaden your accounting experience and build a long-term career within a growing business, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now

If you would like to be considered for the Finance Assistant role in Harewood, Leeds, please click ‘apply now’ or contact our team direct.
