Location: Chard Office
Job Type: Full Time | Office-based
We are looking for a Finance Officer to join Lentells Ltd and play a key role in supporting the smooth financial running of the business. Reporting to the Administration Director, you will be involved in the day-to-day finance operations as well as contributing to month-end, year-end and longer-term financial planning.
This is a hands‑on role suited to someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in accuracy, and likes being part of a supportive, collaborative team.
What you’ll be doing:
As Finance Officer, you’ll be responsible for a broad range of finance tasks, including:
* Processing client payments onto the client relationship system
* Processing client disbursements onto the client relationship software, working closely with other team members
* Completing weekend and month-end reconciliations
* Maintaining Sage purchase and sales ledgers
* Sending invoices for approval
* Uploading payments to the bank for approval
* Carrying out weekly Sage bank reconciliations
* Managing petty cash reconciliation (monthly)
* Preparing and updating cash flow forecasts
* Producing VAT returns for approval and submission
* Preparing monthly management accounts on Sage
* Assisting with annual accounts preparation
* Supporting annual budget preparation in conjunction with the Directors
* Processing quarterly corporation tax payments
* Handling client refunds when required
* Supporting the business with ad‑hoc finance and administrative tasks as needed
What we’re looking for:
You will be organised, proactive, and comfortable working with financial data, with a strong sense of responsibility and integrity.
Key competencies we value:
* Strong team-working skills
* Good planning and time management
* A commitment to client and stakeholder service excellence
* Initiative coupled with personal accountability
* A high level of professionalism and integrity
Experience using Sage, an AAT Level 4 qualification, and confidence with reconciliations, VAT and management accounts will be important, but attitude and approach matter just as much as technical ability.
Why join Lentells Ltd?
At Lentells, we believe everything works best when people work well together. You’ll be part of a friendly, supportive team where accuracy is valued, ideas are welcomed, and everyone plays a part in keeping the business running smoothly.
We offer:
* A collaborative and supportive working environment
* A varied role with real responsibility and visibility
* Opportunities to develop your finance skills and grow with the business
We provide staff with a wide range of benefits, including private medical insurance, company pension, flexible schedule, on‑site parking, sick pay, wellness programmes and company events.
We support our staff’s mental health through the Mindful Employer initiative and the Charter for Employer Positive About Mental Health.
