Finance Officer

Finance Officer

£35,000 to £40,000 – Hybrid Working – South Leicestershire

Are you looking for a varied finance role where you can become a valued member of a close knit team, working within a successful and growing business?

I am working with a well established, privately owned business with a turnover of around £40 million to recruit a Finance Officer. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys a broad accounting role, takes pride in producing accurate work and is looking for a long term position within a supportive finance team.

Reporting into the Finance Manager, you’ll play an important role in the day to day running of the finance function, supporting month end processes while also working closely with colleagues across the wider accounts team.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the preparation of monthly management accounts through journals, accruals and reconciliations.
• Assisting the purchase ledger function during busy periods.
• Posting payroll journals and supporting payroll related accounting.
• Completing balance sheet reconciliations.
• Assisting with VAT returns.
• Supporting the annual audit process.
• Reviewing financial information, investigating anomalies and maintaining accurate financial records.
• Working closely with both finance and operational teams across the business.

The business is currently implementing a new finance system, making this an exciting time to join. Previous experience with similar systems would be beneficial, although full training will be provided.

About You

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, has excellent attention to detail and is happy getting involved in a broad range of finance responsibilities.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience within an accounts or finance position.
• Good understanding of journals, reconciliations and transactional accounting.
• Experience using Sage or a similar accounting package.
• A proactive, organised and team focused approach.
• Experience within logistics would be advantageous, but isn’t essential.

What’s on Offer?

• Salary of £35,000 to £40,000 depending on experience.
• Hybrid working and flexible hours.
• Annual bonus.
• A varied role within a successful, privately owned business.
• A supportive and friendly finance team.
