With a reputation for reliability and a customer-focused approach, it delivers systems that help businesses operate more efficiently. The team culture is collaborative and professional, with a strong emphasis on continuous improvement, offering a supportive and forward-thinking environment for career development.
Your new role
In this role, you will manage accounts payable and receivable, reconcile bank and credit card transactions using Xero, and handle credit control. You will be responsible for posting financial transactions accurately and responding to general finance-related email queries. The position involves maintaining relationships with approximately 300 customers and 80 suppliers, with around 30 suppliers active on a monthly rotating basis. You will also manage direct debit collections through GoCardless, which integrates with Xero, and work with our Halo CRM, also integrated with Xero, to support financial workflows. Additionally, you will assist with billing-related administration, including audits and checks, particularly around our specific billing runs managed by the Senior Finance Executive. This is a temporary contract for 6-8 weeks, with working hours of 9am-5:30pm.
What you'll need to succeed
We are looking for someone with experience using Xero and a solid understanding of accounts administration. Familiarity with GoCardless and CRM systems, particularly Halo, is advantageous. Strong Excel skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication abilities are essential. Prior experience in a similar role is preferred.
What you'll get in return
You’ll be joining a supportive and collaborative team where your contributions are valued. We offer a structured work schedule with no weekend hours, a competitive salary, and the opportunity to work closely with experienced finance professionals. You’ll gain exposure to integrated systems like Xero, GoCardless, and Halo CRM, and develop your skills in a dynamic and growing business environment. This role is ideal for someone looking to build on their finance experience in a stable, office-based setting.
