Job Description
Alexander Daniels Finance Recruitment is exclusively partnering with a long-established financial services organisation in Birmingham to recruit a Finance Officer. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced finance professional who wants to step into a role with genuine progression potential.
One of the standout benefits of this role is the 35-hour working week, combined with true flexibility. Although the position is fully office-based, you can reduce your hours to fit around school times or condense your week into four days. It's a rare blend of stability, work-life balance, and long-term career development.
The Role
You'll become a key part of a small, high-performing finance team, supporting the delivery of accurate financial reporting and smooth day-to-day operations. Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing and posting financial transactions across internal systems
- Working with detailed investment and income data
- Processing payments to customers and external partners
- Completing monthly bank reconciliations
- Calculating customer withdrawal values
- Preparing financial reports to set deadlines
- Monitoring commercial performance and P&L activity
- Ensuring data accuracy and strong financial controls
- Providing excellent service to members and internal stakeholders
- Using Excel and accounting software confidently to support analysis
- Stepping in for the Finance Manager when required
Essential Requirements
- At least 3 years' experience in a finance role
- Strong understanding of accounting systems and financial processes
- Excellent communication skills written, verbal, and interpersonal
- High attention to detail and accuracy
- Strong organisational skills and ability to work to deadlines
- Advanced Excel capability
- A proactive, curious, and commercially minded approach
- Ability to thrive in a small, fast-paced team
Desirable: AAT qualification, part-qualified accountant status, or experience within financial services.
Why This Role Stands Out
- 35-hour week as standard
- Option to reduce hours around school commitments
- Option to condense hours into a 4-day week
- £30,000 - £35,000 salary depending on experience
- Permanent role with long-term progression potential
- Supportive team and strong leadership
- Office-based stability with flexible working patterns
