Interim Finance Administrator

Location: Borough of Richmond; TW11 8GT
Contract: Initial 6-week interim contract
Pay: £22 - £25 an hour – Umbrella

We are currently recruiting for Interim Finance Administrators to join a busy team on an initial six-week contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is proactive, resourceful and confident working independently. The team is operating in a fast-paced and challenging environment, so you will need to be comfortable hitting the ground running, using your initiative and solving problems without extensive day-to-day supervision.

The Role

You will provide essential finance administration support, helping the team manage a significant workload and clear a backlog of queries and invoices.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Working through and clearing a high-volume email backlog.
  • Processing invoices and supporting the invoice approval process.
  • Responding to and resolving supplier queries, including payment-related issues.
  • Investigating queries proactively and identifying appropriate solutions.
  • Maintaining accurate finance administration records.
  • Supporting the wider finance team with general administrative tasks as required.
  • Using initiative and common sense to resolve issues rather than waiting for instructions.

About You

We are particularly interested in candidates who are self-starters with a proactive approach. You will need to be someone who can quickly understand what needs to be done and get on with it.

You will ideally be:

  • Proactive, inquisitive and resourceful.
  • Comfortable working in a busy and sometimes chaotic environment.
  • A confident problem-solver with good common sense.
  • Able to work independently without significant hand-holding.
  • Comfortable dealing with suppliers and resolving queries professionally.
  • Adaptable and able to learn new processes quickly.
  • Highly organised, with good attention to detail.
  • Confident using IT systems; Excel experience would be advantageous but is not essential.

Apply now to be considered for this immediate opportunity.
