**About Us**:
We’re a UK-based digital healthcare company with ambitious goals and a strong footprint in education and workplace support, local authority social care teams and NHS trusts. We deliver a combination of human and technological support to end users with a range of needs, including many who are autistic or who have neurological differences or mental health challenges. As a rapidly scaling business, our ultimate aim is to change the way support is delivered with an overall purpose to make the world a fairer more accessible place.

**About you**:
An exceptional **Finance Assistant** with experience of working in a fast-paced transactional finance role. You will demonstrate a mixed skillset, love working part of a team and be willing to help us finetune our processes as we evolve as a scaling business.

**What you’ll be doing**:
This is a broad role encompassing all of the transactional finance and finance administration activities.

**Your responsibilities**:

- Managing cash balances and controls on a day-to-day basis.
- Ownership of the purchase ledger.
- Support with the sales ledger finance processes.
- Processing and maintaining controls for expense claims and credit card expenditure.
- Documenting and embedding transactional finance processes and controls.
- Contributing to the design of new processes and controls to meet requirements of the business during the growth and scaling stage.
- Supporting with month end processes and balance sheet reconciliations.
- Working closely with the commercial & operational teams across the business to provide finance support.
- Being the first point of contact into the finance team and providing efficient and effective customer service for both internal colleagues as well as customers and suppliers.
- Completing ad-hoc analysis to support budgeting, forecasting, finance team projects and wider company decision making.

**What you’ll bring to Brain in Hand**:
We’d love someone to come on board who brings these skills and experiences to complement our talented team:

- Ability to manage multiple priorities and adopt a flexible approach within a small team.
- Understanding and experience of transactional finance and finance administration activities.
- Strong attention to detail.
- Good verbal and written communication skills.
- Ability to develop strong working relationships with non-finance colleagues.
- Self-motivated and proactive approach.
- Strong IT and finance system skills.
- Experience of working in a rapidly growing and expanding business.

**What success looks like in this role**:

- Efficient and effective completion of transactional finance processes and controls.
- Timely and responsive information, support and query resolution are provided to colleagues, customers and suppliers.
- Transactional finance processes and controls are being developed, evolved and implemented to meet the needs of the growing and scaling business.
- Colleagues and external partners have trust and confidence in transactional finance services being provided and offer regular and positive feedback about the service received.

**What you can expect**:
We’re scaling fast, we work at pace and we work hard. We actively support our colleagues to relish the pace, challenge and ambition of Brain in Hand, so you can expect:

- A 9-day working fortnight, with every 2nd Friday focussed on you, for you, to do what you need to support your well-being.
- A values driven, supportive and collaborative team culture.
- Opportunity to shape the future of Brain in Hand through regular colleague consultation and feedback.
- A competitive salary (circa £25k) and pension.
- 33 days leave annually (incl. bank holidays).
- Support for professional and personal development.
- Involvement in various internal groups and events like ‘Brew Mondays’ and our employee support groups.

**Where you’ll work**:
We trust our teams to work remotely, from anywhere in the UK. That said, the Finance team meet weekly in the Exeter office to collaborate and support one another so you’ll need to be willing to travel. There might be times when you’ll need to travel to other UK locations for meetings or events, but these will be planned ahead of time.

**How to apply**:
We welcome and celebrate people from diverse background. We value your personal principals and cultural fit within our teams. If you think you’re right for a role but you’re worried about lacking some experience or skills, we still want to hear from you.
