We are a business about people; we just happen to do great events. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an ambitious and detail-oriented Finance Apprentice to join our team and gain hands-on experience across the finance function.

Join our 18-month finance apprenticeship programme and gain hands-on experience across two key areas of the finance team. Over the course of the programme, you'll rotate through Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, building a strong understanding of how finance supports the business.

• Accounts Receivable / Credit Control:
  • Support the management of customer accounts and help keep payments on track.
  • Follow up on outstanding invoices and build relationships with customers to resolve queries.
  • Work closely with operational teams to provide financial updates and insights.
  • Assist with cash allocation and account reconciliations.
• Accounts Payable:
  • Process and code supplier invoices accurately and efficiently.
  • Reconcile supplier statements and investigate any discrepancies.
  • Support weekly and monthly payment runs.
  • Help maintain accurate financial records and ensure supplier queries are resolved promptly.

Throughout the programme, you'll develop practical finance skills, gain exposure to different areas of the business, and build confidence working with financial data, systems, and stakeholders. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to start their career in finance and gain experience in both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.

On successful completion of the apprenticeship, you may be offered a permanent role in one of the finance teams. You’ll also have the opportunity to continue your studying towards a higher qualification (such as CIMA, ACCA or ACA).
