Finance Assistant

Sharp Consultancy is working with a North Sheffield business that is looking to bring in a Finance Assistant on an initial 3–6 month contract. With the business continuing to grow and year-end approaching, they need additional support across both Purchase Ledger and Sales Ledger to help keep things running smoothly during a particularly busy period.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied transactional finance role, can hit the ground running and is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

• Assisting with customer and supplier queries, resolving issues in a timely manner.

• Supporting payment runs and monitoring outstanding balances where required.

• Maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring transactions are processed within deadlines.

• Providing wider support to the finance team during the busy year-end period.

We're keen to speak with candidates who have previous experience in a transactional finance or Finance Assistant role and are confident working across both sides of the ledger.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience working across Purchase Ledger and Sales Ledger.

• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to your work.

• Good organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.

• A proactive attitude and the confidence to pick up tasks quickly.

• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
