About Assurity Consulting
Based in Horsham, Assurity Consulting is the UK's leading independent consultancy, delivering health, safety and environmental solutions. We help organisations stay safe, compliant, and confident by giving clear, unbiased advice, and we are looking for a Finance Assistant to join our team. We're a friendly and supportive team who genuinely enjoy what we do. With just over 90 employees in the business, we're big enough to make an impact but small enough that everyone knows each other, expect a welcoming atmosphere with lots of support.
Key responsibilities for the Finance Assistant role:
- Support the Finance team - Finance Director, Financial Controller and Senior Finance Administrator in the smooth running of the finance function.
- Perform daily bank reconciliations, update finance systems (Sage), and investigate discrepancies.
- Manage purchase ledger processes including supplier invoices, queries, payments, and accurate record keeping.
- Maintain supplier accounts, set up new suppliers, and apply anti-fraud checks.
- Oversee petty cash, foreign cash, and ensure accurate reconciliation and controls.
- Administer employee expenses and company cards (e.g. Barclaycard/Pleo), including analysis and compliance checks.
- Support purchase order processes and assist with credit control and sales ledger activities when required.
- Contribute to reporting, audits, and compliance with company policies and procedures.
Skills and experience we are looking for in our Finance Assistant:
- Handles confidential information with discretion.
- Thrives in a collaborative team environment.
- Has strong attention to detail.
- Demonstrates excellent communication skills, particularly written English.
- Displays high levels of integrity.
- Has a good attitude and willingness to learn.
- Is positive and highly adaptable.
The successful applicant must demonstrate experience in working in an office environment and having some financial knowledge will be an advantage but not essential. The role is suited to an individual who is a good team player, wants to progress in a finance role, and would be aiming to achieve a finance qualification. A high level of collaboration, teamwork and confidentiality would be essential for this role.
The benefits you will receive as our Finance Assistant:
- 33 days paid annual leave (including bank holidays) rising to 36 after three years of employment.
- Generous pension scheme with a 5% employer contribution.
- Loyalty benefit scheme after 5 years of employment.
- Profit share.
- Private healthcare and a cash healthcare scheme.
- AAT training support for those looking to progress.
We are big believers in work-life balance and flexibility, because doing your best work shouldn't come at the expense of everything else. If you're looking for a role where you can learn, grow, and be part of a supportive team, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
