Finance Assistant

We are looking for an organised, accurate and enthusiastic Finance Assistant to join our Central Finance team.

This is a varied role providing day-to-day finance and administrative support across the Trust. You will help process purchase orders, invoices and journals, undertake reconciliations, support payroll queries, monitor income and expenditure, and assist with management accounts, forecasting, year-end audit preparation and financial returns.

You will work closely with colleagues across our academies, responding to queries and helping to provide a friendly, efficient and professional finance service. The role also provides opportunities to contribute to improving financial processes and maintaining high standards across the team.

We are looking for someone with good numeracy, IT and organisational skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to work effectively as part of a team. You will be comfortable working to deadlines, communicating with a range of colleagues and taking on new tasks and ways of working.

This would be a great opportunity for someone looking to develop their experience and build their career in finance within an academy trust environment.
