Finance Assistant (Hybrid)

We are currently recruiting a Finance Assistant to join our growing team, working flexibly from home and our Cheadle office. This is a part‑time role, 3–4 days a week, to include Fridays.

Working as part of a small team, the Finance Assistant’s primary role is to provide day‑to‑day support to the Head of Finance performing administrative and other ad‑hoc duties as required within the Accounts department. Whilst relevant finance and/or accounts experience is desirable, it is not essential, and the role requires someone who is proactive and willing to undertake a variety of tasks.

Our colleagues are at the heart of everything we do. We make colleague engagement a priority as we believe that creating a highly engaged team is essential to delivering our multiple award‑winning Client First Service. 90% of colleagues say CFG is a great place to work and recent new joiners described us as “refreshingly different to anywhere else”.
