Job description

Finance Assistant (Part-Time) – Leicester

Are you a detail-driven finance professional who thrives in a hands-on role?
We’re working with a not-for-profit organisation in Leicester that’s on the lookout for a Finance Assistant to join their small but dedicated team.

This is a part-time opportunity (20–21 hours per week) where you’ll take ownership of day-to-day finance operations and play a key role in producing accurate monthly management accounts. If you’re looking for a role that’s varied, supportive, and offers a great work-life balance, this could be the one.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be the go-to person for all things finance, working closely with the Head of Finance & Operations. Expect to get involved with:

• Managing the day-to-day financial admin: payments, receipts, reconciliations, and banking.

• Processing invoices, expenses, and payments through Sage 50c.

• Keeping financial spreadsheets and databases up to date.

• Producing reports, assisting with monthly management accounts, and supporting year-end prep.

• Collaborating with colleagues across the organisation to keep everything running smoothly.

What we’re looking for

We’d love to hear from you if you can tick most of the following boxes:

• AAT Level 3 qualified and confident using Sage 50c.

• Solid experience in a finance support role, ideally within an SME, charity, or not-for-profit organisation.

• Comfortable juggling multiple priorities without losing attention to detail.

• A confident Excel user with good all-round Microsoft Office skills.

• Knowledge of partial exemption VAT, CRM or payment Stripe would be a bonus — but not essential.

• A strong team player with excellent interpersonal skills.

What’s on offer

• Pro-rata salary equivalent to £30,000 per year.

• Part-time hours (20–21 per week).

• Enhanced leave entitlement.

• Private medical insurance (after probation).

• Employee Assistance Programme and Death in Service benefit.

• A supportive, close-knit team environment.

Why this role?

This is a brilliant opportunity to make a real difference in a small, purpose-driven organisation while enjoying the balance of part-time hours. You’ll be part of a team where your work is genuinely valued and where you can bring your skills to life.
