Interim Finance Assistant

Robertson Bell are supporting a public sector organisation, based in the City of London, to recruit a Finance Assistant on a long-term two-year contract as they embark on a programme of change, including the procurement and implementation of a new ERP system which will catalyse further changes to ways of working post-implementation.  

This is a hybrid role offering a generous benefits package, notably holiday entitlement and pension contribution, and three days of home-working per week.

As Finance Assistant you will be responsible for;

• Ensuring financial transactions are processed efficiently, with a particular focus on Accounts Payable, although this role will also get in involved with Accounts Receivable.
• Maintaining the accuracy of financial information across systems and accounts at month end through robust reconciliations.
• Reviewing the application of VAT codes to financial transactions to ensure accuracy.
• Supporting the year end audit through the provision of transactional finance information to internal stakeholders and auditors.
• Supporting senior management by contributing to financial reports and analysis.
• Ensuring expense claims are compliant with organisational policies and processing these.

You will need:

• Strong transactional finance experience, ideally spanning Accounts Payable and Receivable.
• A keen eye for detail and ability to reconcile a range of financial information.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
• A high level of IT literacy, in particular Microsoft packages and ERP systems.

Please don’t hesitate to submit your application now if you’re interested in this opportunity, as the role is highly likely to be filled prior to the advert close date.
