Finance and operations assistant

Axon Moore is delighted to be partnering with a growing business in North Manchester to recruit a Finance & Operations Assistant for a varied and broad role sitting across finance, reporting and operational support.

Location: North Manchester + 1 day from home + 34 hour working week
Salary: -30,000

This opportunity would suit someone with a solid grounding in transactional finance who enjoys variety, working with different departments and being involved in the wider business, not just finance. The role is ideal for someone practical and proactive who is comfortable getting stuck in and supporting across multiple areas.

The business is looking for someone confident working with stakeholders across different departments to collate information, support reporting and provide operational insight, whilst also having a strong understanding of core finance processes and procedures.

You do not need to have exposure to every aspect of management accounts or operational reporting already - the transactional finance side should feel like bread and butter, with the desire and willingness to learn the wider operational/reporting side being the key driver.

• Comfortable communicating with stakeholders across different departments
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Someone proactive, practical and happy to get involved across the wider business
