The Opportunity

We are recruiting for a Finance Assistant to join a growing business based in Warrington.

Currently turning over approximately £18.4m, the business has ambitious plans to grow to around £40m by 2030, making this a great time to join the finance team and develop alongside the company.

You'll join a finance team of four and work across both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, taking responsibility for the invoicing relating to three of the company's branches.

This is a varied role that would particularly suit someone in the earlier stages of their finance career who already has a good grounding in accounts and is now looking for greater exposure, responsibility and genuine career progression.

The business is keen to invest in the successful candidate's development. Alongside AAT study support, there will be the opportunity to progress onto further professional qualifications such as CIMA or ACCA, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career within finance.

The Role

Responsibilities will include:

Processing Purchase Ledger and Sales Ledger invoices
Managing invoicing across three branches
Liaising with branch managers regarding completed jobs, client invoicing and job-related billing
Assisting with credit control and resolving customer account queries
Maintaining accurate financial records
Supporting reconciliations across the finance function
Assisting with accruals and prepayments
Supporting month-end processes and the preparation of monthly financial reports
Assisting with the allocation and management of overhead costs
Responding to finance queries from internal and external stakeholders
Maintaining and updating finance systems and databases
Supporting the wider finance team with general accounting and administrative duties

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

Experienced within an accounts or finance environment, ideally with exposure to both AP and AR
Highly organised with strong attention to detail
Confident working with numbers
Comfortable using Excel and finance systems
A good communicator who is confident liaising with colleagues across the business
Able to work independently while also being a strong team player
Proactive, motivated and ambitious
Keen to learn, develop and progress within finance
Ideally studying towards an AAT qualification or looking to continue their professional studies

You don't need to know everything from day one. Attitude, confidence and a genuine desire to develop are equally important, and the business is looking for someone who wants to grow with the role and the wider company.

What's on Offer

£30,000 basic salary
AAT study support
Further study support towards professional qualifications such as CIMA or ACCA
Genuine opportunities for career progression as the business and finance function grow
Hybrid working after probation - up to 2 days per week from home
20 days holiday plus bank holidays
Christmas shutdown
Onsite parking
Company pension
Ongoing professional development
Opportunity to join an ambitious business during a significant period of growth
