This role is an amazing opportunity for the right person to develop their skills and move up the career ladder.


Who is Sentinel?

What will you be doing as a Finance Associate?


Your role will primarily involve managing and booking payments to suppliers (our contractor workforce) and booking and reconciling payments from clients to enable the month-end and weekly pay runs to take place smoothly and on time. In addition, your role may involve, among other things:

  • Contract creation and management (incl. chasing compliance paperwork and contract signature)
  • Client, contractor, and employee invoicing and payment
  • Payment and booking of company overheads
  • Management of day books and bank reconciliations
  • Client and contractor contractual and invoicing queries
  • Updating our database with candidate details and uploading proof of ID
  • General office administration (post, restocking, and filing)
  • Production of contractor references

Why consider working with Sentinel?


  • We offer a competitive basic salary with a clear career path for those with an ambition to work their way up the ladder.
  • We will fund any relevant qualifications you wish to undertake including AAT.
  • You'll have plenty of learning and development support from a dedicated career coach.
  • We have an award-winning approach to flexible working including home working and flexible hours.
  • We have a progressive management approach built on transparency, flexibility, and autonomy that has contributed to our average team member tenure of 7 years.
  • We pride ourselves on being a diverse, relaxed, and friendly place to work.
  • You will gain skills working within a growing international company.


You will need to be comfortable working with numbers and have great attention to detail while working in a fast-paced environment. Prior knowledge of Excel and Sage 50 would be useful, as would a basic understanding of bookkeeping. AAT training would be an advantage but is not essential. Full training will be provided.
