Job description

DHI are looking for a Finance Officer to provide accurate, timely and reliable finance administration across DHI and HTL. This varied role sits at the heart of our day-to-day finance work, supporting the purchase and sales ledgers, processing purchase orders, supplier invoices and payments, maintaining accurate banking records, raising routine sales invoices and responding to finance queries from colleagues and suppliers.
