Job description

Join Farewill's Finance Team ready to kick‑start your career and dive into the world of finance. We’re on the lookout for a Finance Assistant to join our tight‑knit, high‑performing team. You’ll report directly to our Finance Manager, work closely with our VP Finance, and span the whole business – learning about each area in turn.

What you’ll do

As our Finance Assistant, you’ll have the chance to learn the ins and outs of finance from the ground up. From paying the bills to processing invoices and beyond, you’ll be at the heart of our core finance processes. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore ways to streamline and automate our processes, making them even more efficient.

• Accounts Payable
• Credit Control
• Bank Reconciliation
• Month End
• Expense Tracking
• Filings and Returns
• and lots more

If you’ve heard of these things, fantastic! If not, that’s fine too – we’ll support the right candidate (but do a quick Google before we meet).

What’s in it for you

This is a rare opportunity to gain deep expertise in your discipline while being exposed to every part of a fast‑growing tech company. You’ll be part of a lean finance team with plenty of room for growth and development.

What we’re looking for

Experience isn’t necessary – what matters most is your ambition, willingness to learn, ability to work hard, and your attention to detail.

Logistics

After six months on the job, we’ll sponsor you to start your accounting qualifications, all while supporting you in your day‑to‑day responsibilities. Training will be delivered through an apprenticeship programme. As such, we’re unable to consider candidates who hold a Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, nor can we provide visa sponsorship for this role.

If this still sounds like you, get in touch – we’d love to hear from you!

• A starting salary of £30k + stock options
• Hybrid working; our team works a minimum of 2 days per week in our east London office
• 28 days of annual leave plus the usual public holidays
