Are you an experienced finance all-rounder looking for a varied role where you can really get involved?

We’re working with an established business in Lancaster who are looking to appoint a Senior Finance Officer to join their finance team.

This is a really varied role for someone who enjoys getting involved in different areas of finance and the wider business. You’ll be a dependable pair of hands within the team, helping to keep things organised, accurate and running smoothly.

It’s not a traditional management accounting role, and you don’t need to be qualified or part-qualified. We’re looking for someone practical, approachable and happy to get stuck in.

The Role

You’ll have a broad remit across finance and will get involved with things such as:

• Cash management, banking and cash flow reporting
• VAT returns and indirect tax
• General accounting and reconciliations
• Fixed assets
• Accounts payable and accounts receivable support
• Invoice processing and general finance administration
• Insurance renewals and broker liaison
• Company secretarial and general business administration
• Legal and property-related matters
• ONS and statutory reporting
• Payroll support
• General support across the wider finance team

What we’re looking for

This could suit someone currently working as a Senior Finance Officer, Senior Bookkeeper, Finance Officer, experienced Accounts Assistant or Accounts Administrator.

You might also be an Office Manager with a strong finance background or an experienced finance all-rounder from an SME environment.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has solid, practical finance experience
• Is comfortable with reconciliations, VAT and general finance processes
• Is organised and pays attention to detail
• Is confident using Excel and Microsoft Office
• Is approachable and happy to be a first point of contact
• Enjoys variety and doesn’t mind getting involved in transactional finance
• Is reliable, self-motivated and happy to take ownership
• Is the sort of person who sees something that needs doing and gets on with it

A finance qualification would be beneficial but isn’t essential.

What’s on offer?

• Circa £35,000
• Permanent, full-time position
• Beautiful state of the art office
• A varied role with plenty of responsibility
• The opportunity to become a really valued member of an established finance team
• A supportive environment where being practical, reliable and willing to get stuck in is genuinely valued

If you’re an experienced finance all-rounder who enjoys variety and likes being the person who gets things sorted, we’d love to hear from you.
