  • Set up new clients on our finance systems
  • Chase overdue payments, resolve invoice queries and keep an eye on the Finance inbox
  • Provide occasional purchase ledger cover, such as processing supplier invoices and matching them to purchase orders

What’s in it for you?

  • FTE salary up to £27,500 per annum, pro rata for 24 hours/week
  • 29 days’ holiday including bank holidays, pro rata
  • Flexibility on the days and times you work (to be agreed)
  • A paid day off for your birthday
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
  • Healthcare cash plan
  • Employee discount platform
  • Full training and the chance to grow your career

What You’ll Need

  • GCSE Maths and English at grade C/4 (or equivalent)
  • Excellent admin and organisational skills
  • The ability to multi-task and prioritise when things get busy
  • Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
  • Good working knowledge of IT systems
  • Clear, friendly written and verbal communication
  • A calm head under pressure and a sense of ownership over your work

It would be great if you have

  • Experience in an admin, office or customer service role
  • Experience in sales ledger, purchase ledger or accounts (not essential)
  • Knowledge of Sage
  • Experience in a property or facilities maintenance business
