Are you a hands-on finance professional who enjoys working as part of a team? This is a 12–15 month fixed-term contract with a well-regarded professional services business, in a friendly Finance team of six.
About the team
The team is collaborative and shares the load. When the month gets busy, everyone pitches in, divides up the work and makes sure deadlines are met together. Because of this, a team-player mindset is essential. You'll need to be adaptable and happy to step in wherever you're needed. This role won't suit someone who prefers rigid boundaries around their duties.
About the role
You'll support the team with project invoicing, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations and day-to-day accounting administration. The first two weeks of each month focus on invoicing the previous month's project work and timesheets. The rest of the month covers reconciliations, keeping financial records up to date and other finance support.
