• Resolving invoice queries with internal teams and customers

• Processing supplier invoices and assisting with accounts payable

• Supporting bank reconciliations

• Assisting with general bookkeeping and finance administration

• Working closely with the Finance Manager on day-to-day finance tasks

• Previous experience in a finance/accounts assistant or credit control role 

• Construction industry experience is desirable but not essential

• Strong communicator, confident chasing payments

• Organised, detail-oriented and reliable

• Comfortable working full time in an office environment

• Level 3 NVQ / AAT (or equivalent) would be advantageous but not essential

• Open to temporary or permanent candidates
