Sonic Summary

info
  • The job involves supporting a busy finance department and working closely with the Finance Manager.
  • Candidates should have a minimum of 2 years of solid accounts experience and be AAT qualified, part qualified, or QBE.
  • The role includes tasks such as managing the Purchase Ledger, raising sales invoices, and reconciling transactions.
  • The salary for this position is up to £30,000 depending on experience, with flexible working hours and 21 days of holiday plus bank holidays.
  • This is not a corporate environment, and the ideal candidate should be detail-oriented and proactive in ensuring smooth finance operations.

You won't be launching rockets, changing the world, or disrupting an industry. You'll be doing something far more useful - keeping a busy finance department on track, inside a company that people say day in, day out.

Working closely with the Finance Manager, there'll be deadlines, distractions, last-minute supplier drama, and spreadsheets that don't always behave - plenty to keep you busy.

Your average day might include:

  • Keeping the Purchase Ledger from turning into the Wild West
  • Raising sales invoices that actually get paid
  • Politely pestering customers for money (you know the way)
  • Reconciling bank and credit card transactions
  • Sorting out invoice queries that no one else wants to touch
  • Updating spreadsheets and entering journals like it's second nature
  • Helping close out month-end without any drama

They need someone who:

  • Has solid accounts experience (2+ years)
  • Is AAT qualified, part qualified or QBE
  • Gets mildly excited by neat spreadsheets and balanced ledgers
  • Can work independently but also knows when to shout for help
  • Has good attention to detail and the ability to juggle

The essentials:

  • Salary of up to £30k DOE
  • Hours: 8.30am-5.30pm, Monday to Friday - we're flexible when needed
  • 21 days holiday + BH's (increasing with length of service)

They're not a start-up or a corporate beast, and definitely not a place for someone who wants to coast.
