• Sales Invoicing: Oversee all sales invoicing (excluding time and material work and scanning), ensuring correct procedures are followed for new customers, approvals, and credit checks. Provide support for scanning invoices when needed.
• Credit Control: Conduct weekly credit control activities, follow up on overdue payments, and send summary reports on outstanding invoices.
• Timesheet Management: Ensure accurate submission of employee timesheets, conduct checks to maintain cost accuracy, and process timesheet imports efficiently.
• PDP & TASR Management: Handle PDP submissions, reconciliations, and expense checks, ensuring software updates are in place.
• Onboarding & Employee Management: Set up TravelPerk accounts for new employees and review work patterns, holiday entitlements, and contract changes.
• Payroll Support: Process monthly payroll cycles for five months of the year and assist with payroll-related queries, including reconciliation of the Electric Car Scheme.
• Job Costing Management: Create and amend job codes, provide costing insights, and manage monthly job code closures.
• General Finance Support: Provide cover for team members when required, assist senior finance staff with ad hoc duties, and help with purchase order processing.
• Annual Contributions: Support year-end document collection and ensure relevant financial records are up to date.

Who We’re Looking For

• We’re seeking a detail-oriented finance professional with strong organisational skills, an ability to multitask, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Experience in financial processes and accounting software would be an advantage but full training will be provided. If you thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working with numbers, we’d love to hear from you!
