Looking to start your career in finance? Are you a recent graduate, A-Level leaver, AAT student or junior administrator looking for an opportunity to build a career in accounts and finance? We're working with an established manufacturing business in Corby that is looking for a bright, organised and motivated person to join their small office team. This isn't a role where you need years of accounts experience. The business is looking for someone with the right attitude and potential who they can train and develop over the next few years. You'll initially support with finance, purchasing and general administration before gradually taking on more responsibility across bookkeeping, payroll and management accounts.

What will you be doing?

• Processing supplier invoices and assisting with customer invoicing
• Supporting purchase and sales ledger
• Raising purchase orders and matching invoices
• Helping with weekly and monthly payroll
• Supporting bookkeeping and finance administration
• Assisting with monthly management accounts and trading reports
• Updating finance information on the company's MRP system
• Helping with the transition from Sage 50 to Xero
• Liaising with suppliers and customersAs your confidence and experience grow, the role will grow with you, with the opportunity to eventually take responsibility for areas such as payroll and bookkeeping.

Who would this suit?

• A recent graduate in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics or a related subject
• An A-Level student looking to start a career in finance
• Studying or considering AAT
• A junior administrator wanting to move into accounts
• Someone with 1-2 years' experience looking for a finance-focused career
• A bright, numerate individual who simply wants the opportunity to get started in finance

AAT Level 2 would be useful but isn't essential. What's more important is that you're comfortable with numbers, organised, personable and genuinely keen to learn.

The progression

This is the real attraction of the role.

The business wants to train and develop the right person, with the opportunity to build your knowledge across bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, purchasing and financial systems.

They're also open to supporting further education and professional qualifications as you progress.

If you're looking for your first proper opportunity in finance and want a role where you can learn, develop and build a career, this could be a great place to start.
