You'll know that your efforts will go towards the organisation's mission to help the most disadvantaged to progress and to flourish. And that's a good feeling at the end of anyone's day. Want to put your numerical, logical brain to good use - here's what we are looking for: Experience with Transactional processing: Purchase ledger, Sales ledger, Receipts & Payments. Purchase ledger maintenance: BACS payments, reconciliations, debit balances, supplier account creation Sales ledger maintenance: Invoice management, debt chasing Bank Account maintenance: Reconciliation, filing, administration, payment runs Finance systems: creation of accounts, resolve queries Other duties: from credit card queries to ad hoc support to colleagues. Ideally you will have worked and be familiar with finance systems and be an advanced user of Excel. You'll be reliable, accurate and willing to get stuck in as part of a collaborative and highly supportive team. If this sounds like a great way to move onwards and upwards in your career - we are hiring now, so please complete the application form including a short cover statement as soon as possible highlighting why we would be missing an opportunity not to bring you into our team. When you complete your application, remember to evidence the key requirements of the role detailed in the Job Description attached in your supporting statement.
