Finance Assistant

Looking to join a fast growing SME with a passion for collaboration and learning and development? At ShuttersUp, we design and install beautiful bespoke plantation shutters across London and the South East. Since 2006, we’ve built a business we’re proud of, one centred on doing the right thing for customers and colleagues alike. We’re now looking for a Finance Assistant to join a growing function reporting to the Finance Manager and be part of an office team that always seeks to go above and beyond for each other. We see this as a great foundational role which can act as a springboard for future career development whilst gaining day to day experience and study progression.

What you can expect:

• A hands-on transactional finance role covering sales and purchase ledger predominantly, and other aspects such as commissions, and reporting
• Hybrid working, combining office collaboration with home flexibility
• A supportive, close-knit team who genuinely help each other
• The chance to contribute ideas, improve processes, and add real value beyond “just posting numbers”
• Training, mentoring, and support if you’re pursuing AAT or similar qualifications

Why work for us:

• Study support
• 22 days holiday + 8 bank holidays, + an extra day off for your birthday (growing by 1 day / year from year 3)
• Uniform provided
• Health & wellbeing assistance programme
• A growing, profitable business with around 60 people — and very low staff turnover
• “People really matter here. You’re supported, trusted, and encouraged to grow.”

What you’ll be doing:

• Posting sales and purchase ledger transactions accurately in Xero
• Preparing supplier payment runs and doing reconciliations
• Processing monthly commissions
• Producing stock and receivables reports
• Responding to internal and external finance queries professionally
• Supporting the wider office team as needed
• Getting involved in ad-hoc tasks and continuous improvement

About you:

• Previous experience in an accounts or finance role
• Keen to progress your career, ideally working towards AAT or equivalent
• Confident using Excel and comfortable with financial systems
• Highly organised, methodical, and detail-focused
• Friendly, professional, and confident communicating with colleagues and customers
• Proactive, solution-focused, and willing to go the extra mile
• You share our values of humility, collaboration, honesty, learning, and excellence
