Job description

Bank Reconciliation Assistant

Location: Lowell – Leeds (Thorpe Park) – Hybrid working available. Full time.

Overview

Join us as a Bank Reconciliation Assistant! You’ll be central to ensuring our financial processes run seamlessly. Your core responsibility will be reconciling designated bank accounts using Oracle Cash Management, while collaborating with Finance teams—including Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Treasury—to resolve outstanding items. You’ll dive into details to identify issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop solutions that enhance efficiency. Month‑end reporting will be part of your remit, ensuring accuracy and clarity, alongside contributing ideas to drive automation and continuous improvement. Collaboration is key—you’ll share insights across regions to support best practices. You’ll also play a vital role in compliance and risk management, maintaining a strong control environment and adhering to data protection and privacy standards.

Expect variety: from supporting audits to handling ad‑hoc tasks. If you’re UK‑based, you’ll ensure additional regulatory requirements are met for specific accounts. If you’re detail‑oriented, proactive, and passionate about problem‑solving, this is your opportunity to make a real impact in a team that values accuracy, collaboration, and innovation.

Responsibilities

• Reconcile designated bank accounts using Oracle Cash Management.
• Collaborate with Finance teams – Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Treasury – to resolve outstanding items.
• Identify issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop solutions to enhance efficiency.
• Prepare and support month‑end reporting to ensure accuracy and clarity.
• Contribute ideas to drive automation and continuous improvement.
• Share insights across regions to support best practices.
• Support compliance and risk management, maintaining a strong control environment and adhering to data protection and privacy standards.
• Assist with audit support and ad‑hoc tasks as required.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in bank reconciliation and a solid understanding of accounting double‑entry principles.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interrogate and interpret large data sets, showing clear workings and assumptions.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy, with a proactive approach to identifying and escalating risks.
• Intermediate to advanced Excel skills and confidence working with financial systems (Oracle Cash Management experience is a plus).
• Highly organised and able to prioritise effectively to meet deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.
• Collaborative and improvement‑focused mindset, with a willingness to share learnings and drive process enhancements.

What You’ll Get

• A discretionary annual bonus to reward your impact.
• 3% flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle, whether that’s extra cash, more holiday, or added health cover.
• Hybrid working for the best of both worlds—collaboration and focus.
• Free onsite parking, saving you time and money.
• 28 days of holiday plus public holidays, with the option to buy up to five more.
• Life assurance that supports your loved ones, no matter what.
• A culture that celebrates you and supports your wellbeing – with recognition awards, access to on‑site gym facilities, and a variety of wellbeing initiatives offered throughout the year to help you stay balanced, resilient and feeling your best.
• Encouragement to be your authentic self at work by joining one of our vibrant employee networks—like Rise (Gender), Proud (LGBTQIA+), Culture, or Spark (Neurodiversity & Disability) - and connecting with a community that celebrates and supports you.
