Sonic Summary

info
  • This rapidly growing service-based scale-up is seeking a finance professional to manage day-to-day financial operations and ensure accurate reporting.
  • The role involves managing sales and purchase ledgers, reconciliations, and month-end activities while improving financial processes.
  • Candidates should have solid experience in finance, particularly with managing ledgers and reconciling data, and familiarity with Xero or similar accounting software is preferred.
  • The position offers a competitive salary based on experience, with a supportive culture that promotes work-life balance and flexibility in office hours.
  • This opportunity allows individuals to deepen their finance expertise while contributing to a business that values accuracy and collaboration.

This business is growing quickly, and with that growth comes the need for someone who can keep the numbers accurate, the systems consistent, and the reporting meaningful.

They're a service-based scale-up, with a strong operational foundation and ambitious plans. Finance plays a key role in that growth, not just as a support function, but as a source of insight and control.



The Role

You'll take ownership of the day-to-day financial operations, working across sales and purchase ledgers, reconciliations, and month-end activity. You'll also help improve processes and make sure financial data flows accurately between systems.

It's a role that offers both structure and variety, ideal for someone who enjoys the discipline of finance but also values problem-solving and process improvement.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing the full sales ledger process, including invoicing, payment allocation, and credit control.
  • Supporting purchase ledger activity, supplier invoices, reconciliations, and payments.
  • Completing bank and control account reconciliations.
  • Assisting with month-end duties such as journals, accruals, and prepayments.
  • Reviewing timesheets and cost allocations to ensure accurate pricing
  • Supporting the development of systems and reporting as the business scales.

You'll work closely with the company Director, contributing to accurate, timely reporting and supporting informed financial decisions.



About You

You'll already have solid experience within a finance function, comfortable managing ledgers, reconciling data, and ensuring the numbers add up.

You're experienced enough to know your strengths, but still keen to grow, learn, and stretch yourself. This role gives you the space to do exactly that, without the pressure of chasing titles.

You'll also bring:

  • Experience with Xero or similar accounting software.
  • Strong Excel skills
  • An organised, accurate, and proactive approach.
  • A willingness to question, improve, and make processes more efficient.

What's on offer?

You'll be joining a supportive, forward-thinking team that values accuracy, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Finance is trusted here, and your work will make a visible difference.

  • Competitive salary depending on experience.
  • Office-based role with some flexibility around start and finish times, ideal if you like to fit in an early morning gym class or school run.
  • Supportive culture and genuine work-life balance.
