However, experience isn't everything. Full training will be provided for the right person, so if you have the attitude, aptitude and ambition to build a career in Finance, we'd love to hear from you.

You’ll need:

• Strong academic ability, particularly in Maths or Economics
• Excellent attention to detail and accurate data-entry skills
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
• Good problem-solving skills and the confidence to use your own initiative
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Word, Excel and Outlook

What's on offer:

• Competitive salary of £25,000–£30,000 depending on experience
• Permanent, full-time position
• Monday–Friday, office-based
• Comprehensive training and support
• Broad exposure across the finance function
