I'm working with a well-established manufacturing and distribution group to recruit a thoughtful and reliable Finance Assistant. This is a part-time, office-based position (30 hours a week), ideal for someone who enjoys working with accuracy, structure, and purpose.

• Managing Accounts Payable and Receivable with care and consistency

• Supporting the development of budgets and rolling cash flow forecasts

• Submitting VAT returns and ensuring statutory compliance

• Liaising with external accountants, auditors, and the parent company

• Maintaining strong financial controls and contributing to better ways of working

• Providing clear, well-presented financial insights to senior management

🧠 What you'll bring:

• AAT qualified (or equivalent experience)

• Comfortable using Sage and confident with Excel

• Experience preparing management accounts and financial reports

• Knowledge of VAT rules and statutory requirements

• Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills

• Able to manage your own workload while working collaboratively

• A calm, practical, and team-oriented approach

This is a great fit for someone who values a steady, purposeful role and enjoys making a positive difference to how the finance function operates. If that sounds like you, I'd love to tell you more. 😊
