The Role
Working closely with a supportive and collaborative finance team, you'll be involved in:

7. Confident managing shared inboxes and juggling competing deadlines
8. Comfortable querying invoice/PO mismatches with internal teams
9. Proficient with Excel
10. Can-do attitude, able to work both independently and as part of a team
This role would suit either:
✅ A seasoned finance assistant who enjoys stability and a well-structured workload, or
✅ A junior candidate who's switched on, fast-learning, and eager to gain project exposure
