Group Finance Assistant

Job Title: Group Finance Assistant

Location: Essex (Fully on-site)

Salary: Up to 30k Base DOE + Benefits

We're exclusively recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing group operating at the heart of global commodity logistics, moving product across borders for customers throughout the UK and Europe. Off the back of continued international growth, our client has created a brand new role in their Finance team: Group Finance Assistant.

What you'll be doing:

Working closely with our European and UK Management Accountants, you'll take ownership of day-to-day sales and purchase ledger activity across multiple group companies, including:

• Coding and posting sales and purchase invoices on Sage200 across multiple group companies, including managing the purchase invoice inbox and chasing authorisations.
• Posting bank receipts and payments, reconciling purchase ledger accounts to supplier statements and supporting the daily credit control function.
• Providing holiday/sickness cover across the Group Sales and Purchase Ledgers, plus assisting with accruals, prepayments and ad-hoc finance projects.

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years' experience in a Sales/Purchase Ledger or similar finance admin role, with GCSE Maths and English essential (AAT desirable but not essential).
• Intermediate Excel skills and competency with a finance system (Sage200 a bonus, not a must).
• Sharp attention to detail and strong numerical skills, with the confidence to build relationships with suppliers and customers.

Why now:

Our client is growing across multiple markets and their finance team is scaling with them. This role sits right in the middle of that growth, supporting a Group Financial Controller and Management Accountants across the UK and Europe, with genuine variety and the opportunity to grow as the business does.

If you're looking to join a finance team at a pivotal moment of international expansion, we'd love to hear from you.
