As a Finance Assistant, you will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day operations of a busy Finance Department. Working closely with the wider team, you’ll ensure accurate and timely financial processing in line with internal controls and reporting deadlines. Key responsibilities include managing the Accounts Payable ledger, processing bank transactions and reconciliations, handling supplier payments and credit cards, and maintaining financial data across spreadsheets. You will also support month-end processes, monitor the finance inbox, and provide general support to the Head of Finance. Additionally, you’ll assist with royalties work, including processing quarterly reports from overseas partners and licensees, preparing reports for third parties, and managing contra royalties. This is a hybrid role (3 days on-site in Warwick), offered on a 6-month fixed-term contract with an immediate start.

To be successful, you should have prior Accounts Payable experience and a good understanding of basic accounting principles. Strong Excel and financial systems skills are essential, along with excellent attention to detail and accuracy. You’ll be highly organised, able to manage multiple tasks, and confident working both independently and as part of a team. Strong communication skills and the ability to handle confidential information with discretion are key. A proactive attitude, willingness to learn, and adaptability to new systems and processes will also be highly valued.

In return, you’ll gain valuable experience within a collaborative finance team, contributing to a well-structured and supportive environment. This role offers the opportunity to develop your technical and professional skills while working in a hybrid setting, balancing office collaboration with flexibility.
