Finance Administrator - Maternity Cover

Clifton Moor, York

£29,000 per annum + up to £1,000 annual bonus

Full-time, maternity cover until 30 September 2027

Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week

Site-based - no hybrid working

Flexible working hours:

• 8.30am - 4.30pm
• 9.00am - 5.00pm

For over 30 years, Autohorn has been helping businesses and drivers across the UK with vehicle leasing, fleet management and mobility solutions. What started as a family business in York has grown into one of the UK's leading independent fleet providers, but we've never lost the friendly, supportive culture that made us successful.

As our business continues to grow, we're looking for a Finance Administrator to join our finance team on a maternity cover contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with previous finance administration experience who enjoys being organised, working with customers and supporting a busy team.

You’ll provide day-to-day administrative support across the finance function, taking ownership of a range of customer and internal finance processes and helping to ensure everything runs smoothly and accurately.

Although initially a maternity cover position until 30 September 2027, Autohorn is experiencing significant growth and there is a genuine possibility that the role could become permanent as the business continues to develop.

Duties

Every day brings something different. You will:

• Answer incoming calls from customers, dealing with finance-related queries or directing them to the appropriate department
• Manage the finance mailbox, ensuring customer queries receive timely and appropriate responses
• Review and process sundry invoices and payments due from customers, ensuring monies are collected accurately and on time
• Review final approvals before vehicles leave site, ensuring all documentation is correct and required payments have been collected
• Manage the customer refund process following the return of vehicles
• Work closely with other members of the finance team to support the accurate and timely management of the customer journey and internal processes
• Manage daily file uploads and imports between different systems as required
• Work within Sage to ensure customer accounts are kept up to date and payments are allocated correctly

Skills and Experience

We're looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a team and takes pride in delivering a first-class service.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience working within a finance team or finance administration role
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to prioritise and manage a busy workload
• Good Microsoft Office skills
• A positive and proactive approach

Experience within automotive, leasing or financial services would be an advantage, but isn't essential. Full training will be provided.

Why join us?

• £29,000 salary FTE
• Annual bonus of up to £1,000
• Private healthcare
• Company pension
• Free on-site parking
• Free breakfast every morning
• Fresh fruit provided daily
• Monday to Friday working - no weekends
• Flexible start and finish times
• Friendly and supportive team
• Opportunity to develop your experience within a growing business
• Genuine potential for the position to become permanent

If you're an organized and proactive administrator with finance experience and you're looking to join a growing, supportive business, we'd love to hear from you.
