About Oddbox

As much as 2.5 billion tonnes of food are wasted globally every year – which plays a big part in the climate crisis. We're on a mission to change that, with rescued fruit and veg from hard-working growers, alongside plastic-free ingredients and brands that do good for the planet.

With fruit, veg and more delivered right to your door, we're working towards a fairer food system – one where growers are supported and paid fairly, where produce doesn't have to look 'perfect' and, most importantly, where we never waste taste. No more unnecessary air miles or plastic – just delicious food that fights waste with every box.

The Role

As our Finance Assistant, you'll play an important role in keeping our day-to-day finance operations running smoothly. Supporting both accounts payable and accounts receivable, you'll work closely with the wider finance team to ensure transactions are processed accurately, records are maintained and colleagues receive great support.

This is a varied, hands-on role that would suit someone with experience in a finance or accounts function who enjoys working with detail, building great working relationships and continuously improving the way things are done. It's a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills in a purpose-driven business where you'll make a real impact from day one.

Key Responsibilities

Assisting with day-to-day financial operations, including invoice processing and bank reconciliations.

Supporting month-end and year-end financial processes to ensure timely and accurate reporting.

Maintaining accurate financial records and data across our finance systems.

Assisting with the preparation of financial reports and supporting analysis where required.

Working with the finance team to improve financial processes and controls.

Responding promptly to finance queries from colleagues and supporting stakeholders across the business.

Skills & Experience

Experience working in an accounts payable, accounts receivable or wider finance function.

A basic understanding of accounting principles and financial practices.

Excellent numerical skills with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

Experience using accounting software and strong Microsoft Excel skills.

Good written and verbal communication skills.

Studying towards an AAT, ACCA or CIMA qualification would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

A proactive, flexible approach and a willingness to learn.

Mindset & Behaviours

A team player who enjoys collaborating with others and building positive working relationships.

Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and a proactive approach to solving problems.

Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, changing environment.

Keen to learn, develop and contribute to a purpose-led business making a positive impact.

Why Join Us

Be part of a purpose-driven business tackling food waste – one of the world's most solvable climate challenges.

Join a friendly, collaborative team where your work will make a real difference to the day-to-day running of the business.

Develop your finance experience in a varied role spanning both accounts payable and accounts receivable.

Work in a fast-paced, values-led environment where you'll be trusted to take ownership and contribute ideas for improving the way we work.

Enjoy hybrid working, with regular time in our Vauxhall office and the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from across Oddbox.

Our Company Benefits include:

25 days' holiday + bank holidays + 4 "not-sick" days + 2 volunteering days (pro-rata for part-time hours)

£300 personal development budget + access to wider learning opportunities.

Wellbeing support, including an EAP and Online GP.

Company Bonus Scheme.

Discounts on Oddbox products.

Additional perks and savings through Perkbox.
