If you break into a cold sweat at the idea of a high-volume bank rec, this isn't for you.

But if your idea of job satisfaction is reconciling hundreds (yes, hundreds) of transactions across multiple accounts, and getting every last one to match down to the penny… this is probably one for you.

This isn't a fluffy "finance admin" role. It's real work, daily volume, and fast paced. It needs someone who doesn't flinch when the numbers pile up, and someone who actually enjoys untangling the mess when they don't line up.

You'll be joining a team in Harrogate that likes to get things right, doesn't do drama, and appreciates people who just get on with it. There's plenty of support, but no micromanaging.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

  • High-volume bank reconciliations across multiple accounts
  • Matching incoming and outgoing transactions like a human calculator
  • Processing supplier invoices, managing payment runs and all the usual AP bits
  • Payroll prep
  • Intercompany charges - a few moving parts, nothing terrifying
  • Month-end support: accruals, prepayments, deferred income
  • Fixing AR queries quickly and without fuss
  • Speaking to suppliers and internal teams

Who You Need to Be

  • The kind of person who enjoys reconciling big volumes and doesn't walk away when it gets messy
  • Comfortable in Excel (formulas, filters, maybe a pivot or two)
  • Someone who doesn't wait to be told there's a problem - you spot it and you fix it
  • Capable of juggling tasks without letting anything drop
  • Not the sort of person who needs chasing every five minutes

What's On Offer

  • Up to £28k depending on experience + study support
  • Based in Harrogate, with some home working thrown in
  • A team that's switched-on, supportive, and doesn't take itself too seriously
  • Discounts, health support, and all the usual benefits
