Job description

If you like a job where no two days are quite the same, this one’s worth a look.

My client is a well-established business with a friendly head office team in the centre of Cheltenham. They need a Finance Assistant to work alongside their accountant and keep the finance side running smoothly. It’s a varied role and one you can really put your stamp on. 

What you’ll be doing

  • Running the purchase ledger and preparing payment runs
  • Posting and reconciling bank and credit card statements
  • Coding and reconciling nominal accounts on Sage 50
  • Helping with payroll alongside the team and an external bureau
  • Raising sales invoices and chasing the odd overdue debt
  • Looking after petty cash
  • Managing the finances for a portfolio of properties: rent, utilities, contracts and renewals

What they’re looking for

  • Experience in a finance role, from any sector
  • AAT Level 3 or equivalent experience (Level 4 would be a bonus)
  • Confident on Excel and comfortable with accounting software. Sage 50 is ideal but not essential
  • Someone organised and accurate who can switch between tasks without losing track
  • A good phone manner and the confidence to deal with suppliers and contractors

What’s on offer

  • Performance-related bonus
  • A sociable open-plan office in the town centre, close to shops and transport

Please note this role is fully office based, not hybrid.
