Job description

Overview

If you're happy keying in the same numbers every day with no real chance to progress, this isn't the role for you.

But if you want a finance job that gives you variety, responsibility, and the chance to build a career under someone who knows how to develop people properly, then keep reading.

We're supporting a growing business that's expanding across the North East, and with new developments in the pipeline, the finance team needs people who are hungry to learn, willing to take ownership, and ready to step up when the opportunity comes.

Responsibilities

• Processing invoices, payments, and reconciliations.
• Raising sales invoices and chasing payments.
• Allocating receipts and ensuring accounts balance.
• Helping with month-end routines, reconciliations and reporting.

It's broad experience that will give you a strong foundation for your career.

What we're looking for

The ideal candidate will be actively studying towards their AAT qualification, that's the foundation we need. Beyond that, it's your mindset that will set you apart. We're looking for someone proactive, detail-focused, and confident enough to ask questions, challenge errors, and spot problems before they become bigger ones.

With the right attitude, you'll have the chance to progress quickly. You'll be working directly under a CFO with a proven track record of developing people into senior leadership roles, so if you're ambitious and prepared to put the work in, you'll be learning from someone who knows how to bring the best out of their team.

What\'s in it for you

• Study support to help you complete AAT and beyond.
• A broad mix of AP and AR responsibilities, not just one corner of the ledger.
• Career development under a CFO who actively invests in his team\'s growth.
• A collaborative finance team in a business that\'s investing in its people as much as in its expansion.
• An office-based role, giving you daily access to the team and the CFO you\'ll be learning from.

Opportunities like this don\'t come around often. Take the first step towards a bigger career in finance and apply today.
