Finance Coordinator

Overview

Finance Coordinator required for a long-established, highly respected multi-sector organisation with an excellent reputation. Operating across five distinct sectors, the Group prides itself on financial stability, diverse revenue streams, and a collaborative working environment.

As the Finance Coordinator, you will play a key role within a busy finance function. Reporting into the Group Accountant, you will take ownership of day‑to‑day transactional finance operations.

This is a varied, hands‑on role with a clear split in focus: you will dedicate approximately 1–2 days a week to taking full control of credit control and debt collection, with the remainder of your time focused on purchase ledger, cashbook reconciliations, and commercial administration.
