Finance Assistant
Newark Based
£30,000–£35,000 + Benefits (Including AAT Study support | Hybrid – 1 day from home after successful onboarding/training)
If you're an experienced Finance Assistant looking for a role where you can become part of a genuinely close knit finance team, this could be a great move.
Eaton Syalon are partnering with a high-growth SME based in Newark to recruit a Finance Assistant into their established finance function due to restructure.
The business has grown significantly and continues to develop, but has retained the feel and culture of a smaller organisation – people know each other, work closely together and everyone plays their part.
This is a busy, hands on role with plenty of variety. With true ownership of your day to day workload while working closely with colleagues across finance and the wider business.
The role:
Working as part of the Finance team, your responsibilities will include:
Processing purchase invoices accurately and efficiently including checking purchase ledger coding and matching invoices against purchase orders and delivery notes
Ensuring invoices have the appropriate authorisation ahead of payment runs
Supporting weekly and monthly payment processes
Resolving invoice and supplier queries, working with both internal colleagues and external contacts
Supplier statement reconciliations
Processing employee expenses
Sales ledger activities
Weekly Payroll
Supporting the wider finance team with additional tasks as required
What we're looking for:
We're looking for someone with strong Accounts or Purchase Ledger experience who enjoys being part of a team and takes pride in getting things right. Experience of processing payroll would be great but is not essential as our client is happy to train in this area
You'll ideally be someone who is:
Studying towards AAT, or keen to pursue AAT
Organised and comfortable managing a busy workload
Accurate with strong attention to detail
Confident resolving queries and following things through to completion
Comfortable communicating with suppliers and colleagues across the business
Proactive and happy to take ownership of your responsibilities
A genuine team player who enjoys working in a collaborative environment
If you are excited about being part of a team within an ambitious SME that is continuing to grow, with a friendly and close-knit team around you we would love to hear from you. It's the sort of environment where you can get to know the wider business rather than feeling like one person within a huge transactional finance function.
