Are you looking to build your finance career in a business that’s scaling fast, evolving quickly, and genuinely investing in its people?

We’re working with a high-growth, ambitious SME at a pivotal stage in its journey. With strong backing, increasing transaction volumes, and a clear growth trajectory, this is an opportunity to join a business where finance plays a central role in driving performance and decision-making.

If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same—and where your work has real impact—this could be the role for you.

This isn’t just another finance assistant job.

You’ll be at the heart of the finance function, owning the day-to-day operations that keep the business running, while gaining exposure to how a scaling company manages growth behind the scenes.

For the right person, there’s clear scope to develop quickly, take on more responsibility, and grow with the business.

You’ll take ownership of key transactional finance processes, including:

• Managing purchase ledger and supplier payments
• Maintaining the sales ledger and customer accounts
• Performing bank reconciliations and cash tracking
• Processing employee expenses and corporate cards
• Supporting month-end activities (accruals, prepayments, reconciliations)
• Acting as a key contact for suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Supporting continuous improvement of finance processes as the business scales

This is a role where organisation, accuracy, and proactivity will set you apart.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and takes pride in delivering accurate, reliable work.

• Experience in a finance assistant, accounts, or transactional finance role
• Strong understanding of purchase ledger and basic bookkeeping principles
• Excellent attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving
• Confidence using Excel and accounting systems (e.g. Xero, Sage or similar)
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Ability to suggest ideas, new ways of working and improve processes
• AAT qualification (or working towards it)
• Experience in a high-volume, SME

• Exposure to a fast-growing, scaling business
• A role with real ownership and responsibility
• Opportunities to develop within a growing finance team
• A collaborative, high-energy working environment
• Hybrid working with a Birmingham HQ base

• Wants more than just a steady finance role
• Enjoys pace, change, and ownership
• Is keen to grow alongside a business
