About the Finance Assistant role
At the heart of our small Finance team, you will provide comprehensive support to your colleagues as you resolve telephone queries, manage correspondence, update the sales and purchase ledgers and record bank transactions.

As our Finance Assistant, you will work 25 hours per week over 5 days. The salary is £14,865 per annum (based on 25 hours) plus an excellent benefits package.
