Finance and Admin Assistant

Location: St. Ives

If you know your way around a purchase order and understand how one incorrect code can cause problems further down the line, you'll know how important accuracy is in a finance team. That attention to detail will be important in this Finance & Admin Assistant role. You'll be joining a small finance team within an established, award-winning civil engineering business, processing supplier invoices, resolving PO discrepancies and dealing with day-to-day finance queries.

There's more to the role than purchase ledger, though. You'll support month-end activities and general office administration too, allowing you to broaden your experience and take on more as you develop. What you'll be doing:
Processing supplier invoices, credit notes and expenses. Checking invoices for accuracy and duplicate entries. Matching delivery notes and waste transfer notes to invoices. Reconciling supplier statements. Resolving PO discrepancies with the buying team. Processing company credit cards. Responding to queries through the finance inbox. Supporting the finance team with month-end preparation. Helping with general office administration when required. What's in it for you: 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays.

No weekend working. Training and development opportunities. The chance to broaden your finance experience within a growing business. A small, supportive team where your contribution will be valued. What you'll need:
Around 12 months' experience in purchase ledger, accounts payable or a similar finance role. Strong attention to detail and good financial accuracy. Confidence to ask questions and challenge discrepancies when necessary. Good communication skills when dealing with colleagues and suppliers. A team-focused approach and willingness to support the wider business. Sage experience would be useful, but isn't essential.
