Hours: Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm
Office Based

We are recruiting for an experienced Finance Assistant / Accounts Administrator to join a well-established, close‑knit business within the construction sector.

This is a varied position working closely with the Finance Controller, combining day‑to‑day accounts responsibilities with general office administration. It would suit someone who enjoys working within a smaller business where everyone works together and is happy to get involved across different areas.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing sales and purchase ledger using Sage 50
• Processing and inputting supplier invoices
• Matching invoices against purchase orders
• Raising, matching and updating purchase orders
• Producing cost reports for Project Managers
• Assisting with credit control
• Monthly company credit card reconciliations, including gathering and matching receipts
• Dealing with supplier and invoice queries
• Supporting the Finance Controller with general accounts duties
• Liaising with accountants regarding CIS and HMRC verifications
• Checking subcontractor information and relevant company compliance documentation
• Supporting site and office‑based teams with general queries
• General administration including filing, answering calls and assisting with the smooth running of the office

What We're Looking For

Due to the nature of the role, previous finance/accounts experience within the construction industry is essential.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience working within an accounts or finance position in a construction‑related business
• Good working knowledge of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
• Understanding of the VAT Domestic Reverse Charge
• Experience using Sage 50
• Sales and purchase ledger experience
• Experience processing invoices and purchase orders
• Credit control and reconciliation experience
• Good Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook skills
• Strong attention to detail and a highly organised approach
• A confident, helpful communication style
• A flexible attitude and willingness to support the wider team when required

What's On Offer?

• Salary up to £40,000, depending on experience
• Permanent, full‑time position
• Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm
• Friendly, close‑knit working environment
• Varied position offering exposure across finance, projects and general business operations

This is a fully office‑based role in Denham and therefore candidates must be comfortable working on‑site five days per week.

If you have a strong accounts background within construction and are looking for a varied, hands‑on position within a smaller, supportive business, we would love to hear from you.
