Finance & People Assistant

This role closes for applications on 4th August.

We're an award-winning technology consultancy helping organisations deliver great products and services through technology. We're a people-first business of around 80 employees, and we care as much about how we work as what we deliver. Our People and Finance functions sit at the heart of everything we do, keeping the business running smoothly, compliantly and with genuine care for the people within it.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone early in their career to get broad, meaningful experience across both HR and Finance in a growing tech consultancy. You will sit across both functions, supporting the Finance and People Team with the day-to-day activity that keeps Burendo running well. No two days will be the same. One morning you might be processing payroll inputs and the next you're onboarding a new joiner or helping with a bank reconciliation.

If you are organised, detail-oriented and genuinely interested in how businesses work from the inside, this role will give you an exceptional foundation across two critical business functions.

• Process supplier invoices and manage accounts payable
• Raise sales invoices, manage accounts receivable and support credit control on overdue accounts
• Prepare daily bank reconciliations, escalating discrepancies to the Financial Controller

• Maintain accurate records in Xero and Bankline
• Support month‑end close, including accrual schedules and documentation
• Help coordinate audit requests with accurate, timely documentation

• Support the employee lifecycle from offer letters and contracts to leavers, maintaining records in BambooHR
• Coordinate new joiner onboarding, including right to work checks, system set-up and induction
• Maintain HR data and support monthly reporting on absence, headcount and key metrics
• Support employee benefits and wellbeing administration
• Provide general admin support to the People function, including correspondence and confidential records
• Help coordinate engagement activities, internal events and culture communications

• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Proactive, can-do attitude, willing to get stuck in and learn
• Comfortable handling confidential information with discretion
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Good numerical aptitude, comfortable with data and spreadsheets
• Able to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
• Team player, happy to flex across both functions

• Some experience in HR, finance, admin or office support (work, placement or job)
• Familiarity with HR/finance systems (e.g. BambooHR, Xero, Bankline)
• Experience in professional services, consultancy or tech

• 25 days Annual Leave (plus bank holidays)
• An additional day of paid leave for celebrations
• 1 additional day of holiday after 2 years' service (26 days total) and another 2 days after 5 years (28 days total)
• Monthly Wellness Allowance
• Annual Learning and Development Allowance
• Paid time off for Life Events
• Matched Employer Contributed Pension (5%)
• Life assurance based on 4 x your salary
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Enhanced Family Leave
• Enhanced company sick pay
• A range of optional Salary Sacrifice benefits (inc EV Scheme, Home and Tech, Cycle to Work and Pension)
• Exciting calendar of Burendo social events and activities
