Are you an experienced finance professional who thrives in a varied, hands-on role? I’m supporting a growing organisation in South Warwickshire who are seeking a capable Finance Assistant to join their close-knit team to provide maternity cover. This is a fully office-based position and would suit someone who enjoys being involved in the full breadth of day-to-day finance activity within a small but busy business.
The Opportunity
Working closely with the Finance Director, you’ll play a key role in the smooth running of the finance function. This is an ideal role for someone who likes ownership, variety, and being part of a collaborative, practical environment where no two days are the same.
You’ll be involved in a wide range of tasks, from transactional finance through to supporting month-end processes, offering both challenge and development in equal measure.

* Overseeing business credit card administration and associated reconciliations
* Supporting the Accounts Payable function, including invoice processing and supplier management
* Preparing and running twice-monthly creditor payment cycles
* Managing payments, receipts, and bank reconciliations
* Assisting with month-end accounts, including accruals, prepayments, asset register maintenance, depreciation, disposals, and balance sheet reconciliations
* Completing VAT returns (UK and, where required, EU)
* Offering general support to the Finance Director and assisting with ad-hoc finance tasks
* Contributing to ongoing improvements in financial processes and systems
About You
The successful candidate will bring:
* Finance experience, with confidence managing a busy and varied workload
* A proactive, mature approach and willingness to take responsibility
* An understanding of the pace and adaptability required in a smaller organisation
* Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities
* Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office
* Access to your own transport due to the rural office location
