About the Role

We have an excellent opportunity for a reliable and organised finance professional to join a busy, friendly head office team in Warrington. In this role, you will provide crucial support to the existing accounts team, taking ownership of day-to-day transactional tasks.

This is a fantastic environment for someone who enjoys a steady, reasonable volume of processing and wants to work within a close-knit, welcoming office. The accounts and office team works collaboratively with the wider admin and customer care departments, making a positive personality and strong team fit just as important as your technical experience.

• Processing and checking receipts.
• General purchase ledger and accounts administration.
• Matching invoices with supporting documentation.
• Ensuring all financial records and transactions are kept fully up to date.
• Assisting with general finance and admin tasks as required to support the wider team.

About You

• You are organised, reliable, and comfortable processing a reasonable volume of transactions with a high degree of accuracy.
• You can hit the ground running and take pressure off the team with minimal hand-holding.
• Previous experience using Xero is highly advantageous, though not essential if you are comfortable with IT and pick up new accounts systems quickly.
• You are a team player who will naturally slot into a vibrant, friendly office environment.

What's on Offer

Along with joining a welcoming team, you will benefit from excellent working hours, including a 3:00pm finish every Friday to start your weekend early.
