Finance Assistant - For People Who Notice When the Numbers Are Off by a Penny. And Care.
This one's for the detail demons. The spreadsheet whisperers. The people who can do a bank rec while holding a conversation and eating a sandwich.
You'll be joining a fast-moving team that genuinely cares about doing things properly - but also has a laugh doing it. You'll need to be sharp, organised, and calm when others are flapping.
What You'll Actually Be Doing (Real Tasks, Not Buzzwords)
- Bank reconciliations
- Accounts payable (invoices, statements, payment runs - the usual suspects)
- Prepping payroll schedules so payday runs like clockwork
- Intercompany recharges - B2B bits, nothing scary
- Month-end support: accruals, prepayments, deferred income (you know the drill)
- Digging into accounts receivable queries and resolving them like a boss
- Dealing with suppliers and internal teams professionally - and occasionally with saint-like patience
What They're After
You don't need to be a qualified accountant. But you do need to be:
- Like, really organised.
- Not afraid of Excel. (If you think a pivot table is a yoga pose, this isn't for you.)
- Confident on the phone and decent with people
- The kind of person who spots a number that doesn't look right and actually does something about it
- Comfortable juggling priorities without losing the plot
- Able to keep things confidential and tidy, GDPR-wise
- A team player who doesn't need hand-holding every five minutes
Bonus points if you've worked in a similar finance role before - but attitude and accuracy trump everything.
What's In It for You?
- Up to £28,000 depending on experience
- Based in Harrogate with home working
- Regular socials (not just cake in the kitchen)
- Discounts on top brands
- Health checks and support for your brain, not just your body
- A team that's switched on, supportive, and fun to work with

If you're detail-driven, hate sloppy work, and want a role where people actually appreciate what you do - this one's for you.
