Permanent
£28,000 to £31,200
Start Date: ASAP
A varied finance role with autonomy, stability and a company culture people genuinely stays for.
Some finance roles can feel repetitive. This one gives you the chance to be involved across the finance function, contribute to better ways of working, and be part of a business where people are trusted to get on with the job.
Our client is a practical, forward-thinking company that designs, programs and builds much of its own equipment internally. The business takes pride in doing things properly, working closely with trusted partners, and moving quickly when good ideas come forward.
It is also a place where people stay. Many team members have been with the business for more than five years, which says a lot about the stability, trust and down-to-earth working environment the company has built.
Why you’ll want to join:
A varied finance role across purchase ledger, sales ledger, credit control and multi-currency accounts.
A good level of autonomy once you are settled into the role.
The chance to support process improvement, not just process transactions.
A stable, supportive business where many people stay long term.
Early finish on the last Friday of each month.
22 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, with additional time off over Christmas.
Employee Assistance Programme, Bright Exchange Perks and Death in Service cover after three months.
What you’ll be doing
You will support the smooth running of the finance department, working closely with the Finance Manager and wider teams to keep financial information accurate, organised and up to date.
Your role will include:
Processing purchase invoices and supporting supplier payment runs.
Creating sales invoices and resolving invoice or payment queries.
Monitoring customer accounts and following up overdue payments.
Processing pounds, euros and dollars, including multi-currency reconciliations.
Transferring accounts data from the CRM into Sage 50.
Managing the accounts inbox, filing finance records and processing company credit card information.
Because the role covers several areas of finance, it will suit someone who enjoys variety, likes keeping things organised, and takes pride in accurate work.
What you’ll bring
You will need previous experience in an Accounting Assistant, Finance Assistant or similar account’s role, with confidence using accounting software. Sage 50 experience would be a strong advantage, but experience with other accounting systems will also be considered.
You should also bring:
Good Excel and general IT skills.
Experience or understanding of purchase ledger and sales ledger processes.
Confidence handling financial information accurately and to deadlines.
The ability to manage different priorities across a busy finance function.
Clear communication skills when dealing with colleagues and customers.
Ability to commute to Wellington for an office-based role.
This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants a finance role with substance, variety and a genuinely positive working environment. You will be joining a business that values accuracy, loyalty, improvement and initiative, while offering the stability and support of an established team.
As part of the application process, you will be asked to complete a short online recruitment process which takes approximately 10 minutes. This helps both you and the employer understand whether the role, working style and requirements are likely to be a strong mutual fit
