About the role
Are you an experienced Finance Administrator looking for your next role?
We are looking to grow our small and busy Finance team at Kinneir Dufort (KD), which forms part of the SteriPack Group.
SteriPack has global manufacturing facilities in Europe, US and Asia as well as design and development capabilities in Bristol, UK (where this role will be based), and New Jersy & Colorado in the US.
This is a new role for the team and will involve preparing and submitting all of the financial information for the design and development arm of the business (Bristol, New Jersey & Colorado), including any ad hoc reports and information to support the team manage the business.
The role will report directly to the Group Finance Manager and be a key point of contact not only for internal stakeholders at all levels, but for external clients.
About you
You will have prior experience of working as a Finance Administrator, or similar. You may be a qualified, or part-qualified accountant, or even looking to start the process of becoming qualified – KD will be able to support you regardless of where you are in your accountancy journey.
You may have experience within a design consultancy or in a similar professional services environment.
You’ll have excellent communication skills, with a ‘people first’ mentality as we integrate the design and development sites into one P&L and be able to bring people with you in regard to new systems and processes. You’ll be keen to learn about the business and embrace challenges that arise with the ability to create solutions to issues. You’ll be comfortable operating in a changeable environment and bring your passion to the day-to-day work.
Your skills and experience
Whilst you do not need to meet all of these points, please ensure you meet the majority of them before making an application:
* Experience utilising & maintaining a range of finance software (e.g.. Xero) or bespoke in-house programs.
* Managing the Purchase Ledger across multi-sites.
* Managing the Sales Ledger across multi-sites.
* Being the key credit controller for the business.
* Actioning bank reconciliations across multiple currencies.
* Preparing & submitting VAT returns to HMRC.
* Excellent knowledge and skills of the Microsoft suite of software, especially Excel.
* Be able to maintain excellent attention to detail.
* Be able to support the business with audits.
* Proven experience of improving internal processes and systems.
For the right candidate we would be looking to pay an annual salary of £25,000 to £28,000 per annum.

About us
Our Bristol office, a characterful Grade 2 listed stone building, was originally built as a sugar refinery around 1850. It’s now completely refitted, and houses all of our staff plus our workshops, labs, the design studio, an HF usability suite, as well as client meeting spaces. We are in a great central location: the local area is full of independent shops and it is only a short walk up to Park Street, or over to the Harbourside and St Nick’s Markets, both of which have regular street food markets.
Our values underpin everything we do.
* See possibility: we explore the potential in everyone & everything and embrace change to create opportunities.
* Make a difference: we want to part of the solution and have courage to act, even when it isn’t easy.
* Stand together: we collaborate seamlessly, value difference and support each other.
We believe strongly in equality and fairness and try hard to do the right thing; we speak up for and support groups who are working to make a difference. Many of our team are also involved in, or run, events in their local communities, making a difference to those around them.
The team throughout the SteriPack group are intelligent, hard-working, fun and collaborate brilliantly together to produce creative solutions. We work with some of the biggest, best and most interesting international clients that you’ll find anywhere. We’re a multi-disciplinary team, with experts in research, innovation, human factors, digital UX, 2D and 3D product & packaging design, engineering, prototyping, and electronics & software, all uniquely integrated within one great company.
