This role would suit someone looking to gain practical experience in a commercial environment, with exposure to both transactional finance and reporting.

You’ll ideally bring:

• A methodical approach with good attention to detail
• Confidence working with spreadsheets and internal systems
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships internally
• A positive attitude and willingness to get involved in different areas of the team

Any of the following would be a bonus:

• Exposure to accounts, finance, or office-based administration
• An interest in studying towards a professional qualification (AAT/ACCA/CIMA)

Why Apply?

• Opportunity to join a stable and growing business
• Varied role with real exposure beyond purely transactional work
• Supportive team environment with on-the-job training
• Long-term development potential within finance

If you’re looking to get your foot in the door within a finance team and want a role that offers variety and progression, we’d be keen to hear from you.
