Join to apply for the Finance Executive/Assistant Finance Manager role at BlackBridge

Blackbridge is an award-winning employer branding agency. We help big-name brands attract and engage talent by creating and delivering innovative campaigns and strategies across multiple industries. Think big names like Aviva, Amazon, Vodafone, and Rolls-Royce. We’re also employee-owned, which means all team members are on course to part-own the company.

As the Assistant Management Accountant, you can expect to excel in a vibrant environment. Your role will see you taking care of essential tasks like running accounts payable, making sure everything is processed accurately and on time, month-end tasks that help the board and the overall business, processing billings and undertaking regular analysis to help guide internal decision making.

You’ll also be the go to person for the coordination of the day-to-day finances of smaller partner companies.

Reporting into our Financial Controller, you’ll be able to tackle your tasks independently and receive managerial support at the same time.

This role is ideal for someone who is organised, communicative and confident. Up for the challenge? Get in touch!

Key Tasks Include

• Manage the accounts payable process with accuracy and timeliness
• Ensure all costs are processed on time to support monthly reporting cycles
• Reconcile key balance sheet accounts on a regular basis
• Support the Financial Controller with month-end and year-end tasks
• Manage the accounts of smaller sister companies, with guidance from the Financial Controller
• Ensure timely submission of statutory filings, including VAT, P11D, and similar requirements
• Contribute to improving efficiency in financial processes and systems
• Communicate clearly and effectively with suppliers and internal stakeholders
  
  

The Person We’re Looking For

In addition to technical skills, we’re looking for someone with the right mindset and approach to thrive at Blackbridge:

• An engaging and personable relationship builder, confident working with colleagues and external stakeholders at all levels
• Comfortable taking initiative and working autonomously to proactively drive progress
• Inquisitive and analytical, eager to dig into processes and suggest smarter ways of working
• Driven and ambitious, motivated by the opportunity to grow and take on more responsibility over time
• A confident multitasker, able to juggle a variety of tasks while staying calm and focused
• Adaptable and resilient, thriving in a busy, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same
  
  

Salary range: £38,000 - £45,000 p/a dependant on experience

Interview Process

We like to keep things clear and supportive, so here's what to expect:

• Initial discussion with our People Coordinator – a chance to learn more about the role and for us to get to know you.
• Interview with our Financial Controller and Head of People – focused on your experience and including competency-based questions.
• Personality questionnaire – helping us understand your natural working style and how you might fit within the team.
• Final stage interview with the Financial Controller and Managing Director - a task-based interview followed by a conversation with our MD
  
  

Please note: We kindly ask that no recruitment agencies contact us regarding this role.

Requirements

• Qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent)
• At least 5+ years’ experience in a similar finance role, ideally within a fast-paced or creative environment
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Organised and reliable, with the ability to manage deadlines and meet key reporting dates
• Strong communication skills, confident in explaining financial data to non-finance stakeholders
• Able to prioritise and remain calm during busy periods
• Capable of managing multiple tasks and responsibilities in a fast-moving environment
• Experience with Sage (desirable, not essential)
  
  

Benefits

• A structure and team spirit that inspires you to produce your best work, stay engaged and find ways to develop via regular check-ins with your manager or team.
• A work-life balance is important to who we are. We’re all good at what we do, and we work hard, but we intend to enjoy that success by living our lives.
• ‘Fun-loving and considerate’ sums up our culture, with regular socials and events designed to inspire a closer bond between a diverse group of people.
• A minimum of 25 days holiday, 1.5 days extra at Christmas and enhanced parental leave, because as we’ve said, life comes first.
• Employee Assistance Programme through Health Assured is available 24/7, because wellbeing is our priority
• Medicash – a holistic range of impressive health and wellbeing benefits for you and your children.
• Enhanced parental pay and leave, so you can settle your family in, enjoy the early days and maintain your sense of financial security.
• We offer hybrid working – 3 days in the office and 2 from home, with Mondays as our core in-office day – because flexibility matters.
