The role
Key Accountabilities
1. Transaction Processing & Reconciliation
- Complete regular bank and payment platform reconciliations accurately and on schedule.
- Manage direct debit collections, and weekly supplier and employee payment runs.
- Raise and process sales invoices and intercompany recharges ensuring correct coding and documentation.
- Maintain accurate cash receipt and payment journals
- Assist in closing the monthly accounts, including reconciling all balance sheet items accurately and on schedule.
2. Client Relationship & Communication
- Act as the first point of contact for all client finance queries (invoices, payment clarifications, account issues), ensuring timely and professional responses.
- Manage internal finance queries from colleagues (expenses, supplier payments, finance process guidance) with clarity and accuracy.
- Oversee debtor management, maintaining accurate records, chasing overdue balances, and fostering positive client relationships
3. Continuous Improvement & Reporting
- Keep finance systems and resources up to date, including intranet guidelines, support centre materials, and finance-related JIRA tickets.
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve processes, especially around debt management, reconciliations, and query resolution, and support implementation of agreed changes.
- Support compliance and reporting requirements, including audits, VAT returns, sales tax reviews, and budget holder reporting.
Key Requirements
You should have:
- A self-starter mindset – you like to understand what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, so you can take ownership, adapt the approach, and make improvements that benefit both clients and colleagues.
- A collaborative and service-focused approach – you enjoy working with clients, colleagues, and stakeholders to solve problems, share knowledge, and keep finance processes running smoothly for everyone involved.
- Robust accounting knowledge – you understand the accounting entries and reconciliations that surface at month-end, and you know the difference between best practice and necessary compliance
- Organisation and reliability – you love a well-managed to-do list, can prioritise effectively, and manage expectations when others rely on you for information, action, or resolution.
- Be a part-qualified accountant (AAT, ACCA, ACA, CIMA or equivalent) or qualified by experience.
Tech we use:
- Accounting system: Business central (Microsoft Dynamics). We integrate it with Zetadocs (expenses), Avalara (sales tax), Continia (purchase invoice automation) and Yavrio (bank feeds). There are many more add-ons we’d like to leverage to help us keep the team lean and our time spent on delivering human added-value.
- Work management: we use Jira to interface with the rest of the business and Trello to manage our team’s tasks and workload
- Analysis: we run our monthly Financial reports in Cosmos and do most things in excel. We publish budget reports and other financial visualisations in PowerBI.
