Looking to take the next step in your finance career with a growing St. Albans-based company?

As a core member of the finance department, you will ensure the smooth, day-to-day operation of financial functions by managing transactional processing, essential reconciliations, and administrative duties.

* Process the monthly Direct Debit run.

* Carry out regular bank reconciliations.

* Process employee expense claims.

* Support credit control when needed.

The successful candidate will have:

* A background working within a Finance team, with a genuine desire to develop your career and a view to pursuing an AAT qualification.

* Strong numerical skills and a keen eye for detail to ensure "right first time" results.

* Confidence using billing/finance systems and proficiency in Excel or similar data tools.

* A proven ability to manage a busy workload, stay organised, and adapt quickly when priorities shift.

* The confidence to identify issues early and the judgment to resolve or escalate them effectively.

Benefits:

* 9 Day working fortnight

* 25 Days holiday + Bank Holidays

* Salary sacrifice pension scheme

* Wellness & Employee Assistance Programme

* 24 Hour GP and mental health care support

* Continuous professional development

* Annual company day
