Finance Assistant - Falmouth / Hybrid - Circa: £23,000 + Benefits

Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to be once again exclusively assisting one of our longstanding clients, a well-established and highly regarded educational provider and charity based in Falmouth. We placed their Director of Finance last year and they now seek to further develop their finance function with the recruitment of a Finance Assistant. This is a permanent opportunity that will ideally work over a 35 hour working week but could be negotiable to suit the successful candidate. The company promotes a highly flexible hybrid working arrangement that could see the successful candidate working remotely up to four days per week (if required). 

The successful candidate will work closely with the Director of Finance and other members of the administration team to ensure the smooth day-to-day operations of the accounting lifecycle. Key responsibilities to include: 

- General company bookkeeping using Sage

- Administration of the accounts payable function

- Bank reconciliations

- Processing credit card transactions and staff expenses

- Assist Director of Finance with major accounting projects

- Assist in the administration of IT contracts, data protection requirements and Health & Safety

For this role we seek a candidate who possesses at least 12-18 months of general finance experience to include accurate maintenance of an accounts payable function. Candidates may be part/fully AAT qualified or qualified by experience. Good all-round IT experience and ideally (though not essentially), experience of using Sage based accounting systems required. These roles will work as part of an energetic and extremely friendly team that promote a fun office environment and internal career development. 

In addition to flexible hybrid working, this employer offers an extremely generous contributory pension and an annual leave package that will likely exceed 38-40 days per annum!
