Bank Reconciliation Assistant in Leeds

Location: Thorpe Park, Leeds, Hybrid working available.

Join us as a Bank Reconciliation Assistant! You will be central to ensuring our financial processes run seamlessly. Your core responsibility will be reconciling designated bank accounts using Oracle Cash Management, while collaborating with Finance teams - including Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Treasury - to resolve outstanding items. You will dive into the details to identify issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop solutions that enhance efficiency. Month-end reporting will be part of your remit, ensuring accuracy and clarity, alongside contributing ideas to drive automation and continuous improvement.

Collaboration is key - you will share insights across regions to support best practices. You will also play a vital role in compliance and risk management, maintaining a strong control environment and adhering to data protection and privacy standards. Expect variety: from supporting audits to handling ad-hoc tasks. If you are UK-based, you will ensure additional regulatory requirements are met for specific accounts. If you are detail-oriented, proactive, and passionate about problem-solving, this is your opportunity to make a real impact in a team that values accuracy, collaboration, and innovation.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience in bank reconciliation and a solid understanding of accounting double-entry principles.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interrogate and interpret large data sets, showing clear workings and assumptions.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy, combined with a proactive approach to identifying and escalating risks.
• Intermediate to advanced Excel skills and confidence working with financial systems (Oracle Cash Management experience is a plus).
• Highly organised and able to prioritise effectively to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Collaborative and improvement-focused mindset, with a willingness to share learnings and drive process enhancements.

If you are excited about this role but do not meet every requirement - do not worry, still apply. Your unique perspective could be just what we are looking for.

What you will get:

• A discretionary annual bonus to reward your impact.
• 3% flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle, whether that is extra cash, more holiday, or added health cover.
• Hybrid working for the best of both worlds - collaboration and focus.
• Free onsite parking, saving you time and money.
• Recharge and refresh opportunities with 28 days of holiday plus public holidays, and the option to buy up to five more - giving you more time for what matters most.
• Peace of mind with life assurance that supports your loved ones, no matter what.
• A culture that celebrates you and supports your wellbeing - with recognition awards, access to on-site gym facilities, and a variety of wellbeing initiatives offered throughout the year to help you stay balanced, resilient and feeling your best.
• Encouragement to be your authentic self at work by joining one of our vibrant employee networks - like Rise (Gender), Proud (LGBTQIA+), Culture, or Spark (Neurodiversity & Disability) - and connect with a community that celebrates and supports you.
