If you know your way around a purchase order and understand how one incorrect code can cause problems further down the line, you''ll know how important accuracy is in a finance team.

That attention to detail will be important in this Finance & Admin Assistant role. You''ll be joining a small finance team within an established, award-winning civil engineering business, processing supplier invoices, resolving PO discrepancies and dealing with day-to-day finance queries.

There''s more to the role than purchase ledger, though. You''ll support month-end activities and general office administration too, allowing you to broaden your experience and take on more as you develop.

What you''ll be doing:

  • Processing supplier invoices, credit notes and expenses.
  • Checking invoices for accuracy and duplicate entries.
  • Matching delivery notes and waste transfer notes to invoices.
  • Reconciling supplier statements.
  • Resolving PO discrepancies with the buying team.
  • Processing company credit cards.
  • Responding to queries through the finance inbox.
  • Supporting the finance team with month-end preparation.
  • Helping with general office administration when required.

What''s in it for you:

  • 25 days'' holiday plus bank holidays.
  • No weekend working.
  • Training and development opportunities.
  • The chance to broaden your finance experience within a growing business.
  • A small, supportive team where your contribution will be valued.

What you''ll need:

  • Around 12 months'' experience in purchase ledger, accounts payable or a similar finance role.
  • Strong attention to detail and good financial accuracy.
  • Confidence to ask questions and challenge discrepancies when necessary.
  • Good communication skills when dealing with colleagues and suppliers.
  • A team-focused approach and willingness to support the wider business.
  • Sage experience would be useful, but isn''t essential.

If you''re looking to build on your existing finance experience in a varied role with opportunities to develop, send your CV or get in touch for a confidential chat.
