Job Description
Following an internal promotion we are looking for an additional Finance Assistant to join our Finance Department.
You will be one of four Assistants processing a range of finance tasks on behalf of our legal and business support teams.
The role involves a significant amount of data entry and checking. You will be posting credit card items, invoices and other payments into our practice management system (Aderant) and other systems, ensuring they are accurately coded and cross charged where necessary.
In addition, you’ll deal with a range of other tasks including daily and month end bank reconciliations, posting bank receipts, authorising payments and dealing with queries from suppliers and colleagues within the business.
Ideally you will already have experience working in a junior finance role, with an understanding of common accounting processes and UK VAT rules, but candidates who can demonstrate a high level of numeracy and who have at least 1 year’s experience in an office role involving a high level of accurate data entry and administration duties may also be considered.
It is essential that you can work with an exceptionally high level of accuracy and are able to maintain focus and concentration during long periods of routine work. You’ll also be able to deal helpfully and professionally with enquiries from a range of different people within and outside the business.
