• Key responsibilities may include managing accounts payable and receivable, assisting with payroll and statutory obligations, reconciling bank and credit card statements, maintaining accurate financial records, and supporting reporting, budgeting, and forecasting.
• The role also involves handling ad-hoc financial tasks, supporting audits, proactively resolving issues, and acting as the first point of contact for finance queries. As a Finance Administrator, you must maintain confidentiality, exercise discretion, show the ability to adapt to changing systems and procedures, and continuously improve finance workflows while working with minimal supervision.

• Systems & Technical Competence: Comfortable with accounting software (e.g. Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, or similar) as well as MS Excel/Google Sheets; quick to learn new platforms.
• Experienced in the use of AI and AI tools.
• Accuracy & Attention to Detail: Strong focus on data integrity and the ability to spot errors or inconsistencies quickly.
• Organisation & Time Management: Able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines across different clients, with effective prioritisation.
• Communication Skills: Clear, professional, and proactive communicator, able to liaise confidently with UK clients, suppliers, and internal teams.
• Problem-Solving & Initiative: Can investigate discrepancies, resolve issues, and suggest improvements without needing constant direction.
• Confidentiality & Integrity: Trusted to handle sensitive client and company information responsibly.
• Adaptability & Learning Agility: Comfortable working in changing environments, adjusting to new systems, processes, and client requirements.

The ideal candidate will:
