Your new company Hays is delighted to be recruiting for a Finance Assistant to join an established organisation based in Elgin. This is a full-time, office-based position being offered on a 12-month fixed-term contract to provide maternity cover. This role offers an immediate start and applicants are encouraged from an administrative or finance background.
Your new role Working as part of a busy and supportive team, you will provide a combination of finance and administrative support, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their experience within a finance environment. Your responsibilities will include processing and matching invoices, updating financial information and internal systems, maintaining accurate records and documentation, and assisting with general data entry and administrative tasks. You will liaise with customers and internal departments to respond to queries, investigate invoice discrepancies and ensure information is processed accurately and efficiently. You will also provide wider administrative support to the team and assist during the implementation of a new finance system.
What you'll need to succeed You do not necessarily need to come from a traditional finance background. Applications are welcomed from candidates with strong office administration experience who are numerically confident and interested in developing their skills within finance. You will be organised, accurate and comfortable working with numbers and data. Strong communication skills are important, as you will regularly liaise with customers and colleagues to resolve queries. You should be confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and comfortable learning new systems and processes. Previous accounts payable or finance experience would be advantageous, but equally, a strong administrator with good numerical and systems skills could be well suited to the position.
What you'll get in return You will receive a salary of approximately 26,500 per annum, working full-time hours in a fully office-based role in Elgin. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build upon their administrative experience and gain valuable exposure to finance and accounts payable, whilst developing their systems and commercial experience within a supportive team. This role offers an immediate start and could lead to a permanent role after the initial maternity cover period ends.
