Our culture is built around three core pillars

• Human: We operate with empathy, mutual respect, and genuine connection. We value personality, support each other, and prioritize clear, open communication.

If you have an eagle eye for detail, a strong knack for numbers, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow your career with a progressive company.

Key Responsibilities

Issue timely customer invoices and manage credit control/collections to maintain healthy receivables.

• Payments & Cashflow: Prepare and perform weekly and monthly payment runs, process electronic transfers, monitor customer accounts for non-payment or delays, and assist with cashflow reporting to maintain optimal bank levels.
• Reconciliations: Conduct routine bank reconciliations to ensure the general ledger remains accurate and up to date.
• Audit & Data Integrity: Maintain digital filing systems to ensure records are fully organized, compliant, and ready for easy audit retrieval.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a responsive and helpful point of contact for both internal colleagues and external vendors regarding invoice and payment queries.
• Pioneering Projects: Support the Group Financial Controller on key transformational projects aimed at modernising processes and scaling operations.

Skills & Qualifications

Required

• Numerical Accuracy: Exceptional data entry skills with a proven track record of high accuracy and attention to detail.
• Software Literacy: Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (basic formulas, data sorting, formatting) and standard office software tools.
• Communication: Clear, empathetic, and professional written and verbal communication skills—embodying our Human pillar when dealing with clients, vendors, and internal teams.
• Organisation: Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritise conflicting deadlines, and keep financial records impeccably structured.
• Experience: 1–2 years in an finance/accounting environment.
• Systems Knowledge: Hands‑on experience with accounting software (e. g., Xero, Sage, Free Agent) and expense management tools (e. g., Pleo, Expense In).

Why Join Us?

At Unity5, you won’t just be crunching numbers—you’ll be an integral part of a collaborative, Unified team driving real business impact.

We offer a supportive environment where your ideas for process improvement will be heard (Pioneering), and where your professional development is genuinely supported.
