Job description

Rialtas, part of the global Harris Computer family, is looking for a Finance Software Trainer / Consultant for its market-leading accounting software business. This is an important role within the business, and it provides an exciting opportunity to work alongside a dedicated and inclusive team.

We’re looking for someone with great energy, clear communication, and a passion for guiding others. No need to be a finance expert - we’ll teach you the rest.

Our offices are located in Uffcott, Wroughton near Swindon, easily accessible from Junctions 15 and 16 on the M4. This is a part-time role (22.5 hours per week) and a hybrid position, with on-site presence to be agreed. Occasional travel to client sites and UK-wide conferences will be required.

What you will do

Your key responsibilities will include (but will not be limited to):

• Set up our financial software for new clients — this includes creating a chart of accounts, transferring data from their existing systems, and providing hands‑on training (either online or on‑site).

• Set up our administration software for new clients – this includes bookings management, cemeteries and memorials, allotments and asset inventory, transferring data into our systems and providing hands‑on training (either online or on‑site)

• Deliver clear, friendly, and practical training sessions on both our financial and administrative software, helping users feel confident in their daily tasks.

• Provide refresher training and ongoing support to ensure clients continue to get the most from our systems.

• Support clients with Year‑End accounts preparation and general data entry tasks when needed (sometimes on‑site).

• Offer approachable guidance on general practices within the scope of our software solutions.

• Keep our training materials, workbooks, and user manuals up to date with each new software release.

• Learn how our finance and administration systems work together, and be able to explain this clearly to clients.

• Provide support for our software when office‑based, assisting users with queries and troubleshooting.

• Represent the company at conferences and events, promoting our software and services in a positive and professional way.

• Carry out other related tasks as required to support the team and our clients.

What we are looking for

We are seeking a motivated, commercially astute Sales Manager who embodies our values (harriscomputer.com) and brings both strategic thinking and hands‑on leadership to the role. You will thrive in a collaborative, customer‑focused environment and be excited to contribute to a passionate, close‑knit team.

• Strong communication skills – both written and verbal. A patient, friendly, and logical approach is essential for engaging with customers professionally, whether in person or via Teams.

• Basic numeracy and financial awareness – a general understanding of finance is helpful, but full training will be provided. Prior experience in finance reporting is a plus.

• Computer literacy – confident using Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook. Good Excel skills are particularly valuable.

• Process‑oriented mindset – comfortable working within established office procedures and helping to manage them efficiently.

• Familiarity with finance software – experience with tools like Sage Accounts, Xero, or similar is beneficial but not essential.

• Administrative support for company accounts – able to assist with inputting, managing, and delivering financial data under guidance.

• Team player with initiative – able to work independently when needed, while also contributing positively to a collaborative team environment.

• Sector experience (desirable) – previous work in local government or a software business is advantageous but not required.

Additional Requirements

• Own transport and a valid driving licence.

• Excited about joining an initially small team that cares passionately about its customers.
