Finance and Admin Assistant
Paul Card Recruitment
Job Description
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.
