**The role**

Our vacancy is for a part-time **Finance Assistant**, who will help look after the finances of the UK and German operations to ensure smooth running of both businesses.

You will perform a range of functions from processing daily transactions to preparing management accounts and payroll inputs on a monthly basis.

Reporting to the Finance Manager your responsibilities will be to:

- Download daily bank transactions and allocate to sales and purchase transactions as appropriate.
- Reconcile bank balances at least weekly and at month end.
- Post direct consumer sales orders and invoices and reconcile to funds received.
- Prepare sales summaries and create invoices to send to our marketplace partners.
- Post purchase invoices to the purchase ledger ensuring each is correctly approved.
- Post credit card transactions.
- Process employee expenses.
- Produce debtors reports on a weekly basis, and take a proactive role in managing and collecting debt.
- Prepare payroll inputs for hourly and salaried staff.
- Assist with the posting of stock invoices to the purchase ledger.
- Assist with the posting of month end journals and balance sheet account reconciliation.
- Be prepared to undertake ad hoc numerical tasks relating to any area of the business.
- Be numerate, comfortable working with numbers, familiar with financial systems, and with a meticulous attention to detail and enthusiasm for data accuracy. Previous experience as a bookkeeper, accounts or payroll assistant would be preferable, as would a qualification such as AAT Level 3.
- Be positive and hard-working, prepared to get stuck in and get things done, and able to work independently and as part of a team; a natural problem-solver who, when faced with an issue, has clear and practised methods to overcome it.
- Have good organisational and time management skills, using your proactive attitude to complete work in an accurate and timely manner, while managing and prioritising activities in order to achieve this.
- Be calm and responsive, able to deal flexibly with peaks and troughs in workload or unexpected requests and able to re-prioritise workload accordingly.
- Be a strong communicator both verbally and in your written communications.
- Enjoy building good relationships with your colleagues. Everyone sees you as a great team player.
- Be keen to learn, always looking to review your performance and identify and implement opportunities to improve.

But above all, at your very core you’ll be someone who naturally identifies with and lives our values each and every day:

- **Integrity.** You’re honest and have strong moral principles. You always do the right thing.
- **Accountability.** You take full ownership for the areas that you’re responsible for. You are proactive in making stuff happen, and if there’s an issue you know to raise a red flag early so we can solve the problem together.
- **Passion.** You have an energy, enthusiasm and motivation that sets you apart. Your positive outlook rubs off on others.
- **Growth. **You’re always looking to improve yourself. You constantly evaluate your own performance, and you invite and respond positively to feedback from others.

**What we offer**

We will provide you the opportunity to work in an important and exciting role in an open and friendly working environment with real opportunities for you to grow your career as we grow.

We provide a generous staff discount on our own products and free on-site parking. Our office is located within walking distance of both Branksome train station and the main bus routes.

This is a part-time role working 25 hours per week. Salary will be £23,000-25,000 full time (40 hours) equivalent depending on experience.

Please submit a copy of your CV together with a covering letter outlining your interest in our opportunity and when you are available to start work.

We look forward to hearing from you
