Let's talk about the part of finance that doesn't get the limelight but absolutely stops the whole machine from eating itself alive. You'll sit in the sales ledger function, and you'll be the person who makes sure new customers don't just exist , but are properly checked, approved, recorded, and ready to transact without chaos erupting later. In short: you'll be the gatekeeper between "exciting new client" and "why is this invoice on fire?" What you'll actually be doing: Every day you'll be juggling new account requests and making sure nothing slips through the cracks. That means: Reviewing new client requests and checking contracts properly (not just a quick scan-and-pray) Running credit checks and external financial due diligence (yes, including third-party reporting tools) Analysing creditworthiness and flagging anything that looks questionable Ensuring approvals are obtained in line with governance rules before anything gets set up in the finance system Logging and tracking every new client through the onboarding process so nothing disappears into the void Liaising with Credit Controllers, Operations, Risk, and occasionally clients themselves when clarification is needed Monitoring prospect pipelines and updating records so they don't rot in spreadsheet purgatory Producing reporting on volumes, approvals, and trends (Excel will be your best friend here) They're not asking for magic. But they are asking for someone who can operate in a busy, slightly chaotic, very detail-sensitive environment without dropping the ball. You'll need: Experience in a professional, fast-moving finance or operations environment Proper attention to detail (the kind where you spot the missing decimal point before anyone else does) Strong Excel skills - not "I can do a SUM", more "I can tame a spreadsheet beast" Confidence working with data, numbers, and systems without breaking into a cold sweat Strong organisation and time management (lots of moving parts, lots of deadlines) The ability to spot risk and escalate it without hesitation or drama You probably enjoy bringing order to chaos. You like knowing that things are "correct" in a way that other people might find slightly obsessive, you don't panic when there are multiple priorities - you prioritise. What will you get? An annual salary of up to £30k (depending on experience) Study support 25 days annual leave + bank holidays Hybrid working (2 days WFH) Click "apply now" to find out more.
