Finance Administrator

We’re looking for an organised, accurate and proactive Finance Administrator to join our Finance team.
This is a varied role that plays an important part in supporting the Society’s day-to-day accounting processes. You’ll be responsible for a range of financial administration including reconciliations, invoice processing, ledger maintenance and Treasury settlements, helping to make sure transactions are processed accurately and within the required timescales.

Working closely with colleagues within Finance and across the wider Society, you’ll also help to identify and resolve reconciling items, respond to queries and provide support and advice to other teams when required.
This opportunity would suit someone who enjoys working with numbers, has strong attention to detail and takes pride in getting things right. Previous experience in a similar role or an accounting background would be beneficial, but equally important will be your ability to work accurately, stay organised and build positive working relationships.

As our Finance Administrator, you’ll support a broad range of activities across the Finance function. Your responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining the Society’s General Ledger and Purchase Ledger.
• Completing daily reconciliations of the Society’s bank accounts, including cash book, cheques, debit card transactions, direct debits and EFT reconciliations.
• Reconciling suspense and control accounts, identifying issues and ensuring these are raised and resolved appropriately.
• Processing supplier invoices accurately and supporting invoice payment runs, recurring charges, petty cash and expense claims.
• Accurately processing Treasury deals through the Treasury Management system and supporting the timely settlement of Treasury activity.
• Completing fraud prevention checks relating to Treasury deals.
• Posting manual journals and supporting the administration of the Society’s cash order.
• Working with colleagues across different departments to provide support and advice, including around invoice settlement and budget allocation.
• Supporting the preparation of financial returns for the Executive and Board, as well as external regulatory authorities where required.
• Supporting the Finance team with departmental and wider Society projects.
• Developing and maintaining positive working relationships with colleagues and external providers
