Do you enjoy working with numbers, keeping things accurate and organised, and playing a key role in well-run finance processes?

You’ll enjoy this role if you take pride in getting things right, meet deadlines consistently, and value being part of a collaborative team built on integrity and continuous improvement.

We are now looking for a Finance Assistant to join us, contributing to the smooth running of our finance function and supporting a range of core activities.

What will you be doing?

As our Finance Assistant, you will play a key part in maintaining accurate financial records and supporting both operational and month end processes. The role suits someone who is comfortable working independently, taking ownership of their work, and knowing when to ask questions.

Your responsibilities will include:

Invoice and purchase order processing

• Setting up and maintaining vendor records

• Processing invoices accurately

• Logging invoices in the fixed asset register and prepayments schedule

• Distributing invoices for authorisation

• Creating and maintaining purchase orders

• Preparing monthly payment reports to support cashflow

• Reconciling supplier statements, resolving discrepancies, and ensuring completeness of purchasing records

Banking and payments

• Completing weekly and month end bank reconciliations

• Preparing payment runs and ensuring timely supplier payments

• Posting bank transactions

Expenses and credit cards

• Processing employee expenses and credit card transactions

• Monitoring missing receipts and liaising with colleagues where needed

Billing and credit control

• Reconciling commission statements and billing energy suppliers

• Investigating and resolving commission related queries

• Supporting wider credit control activities including chasing customers

Team and administrative support

• Maintaining a well‑managed finance inbox

• Providing general administrative support to the Accounting and Finance team

• Working collaboratively with colleagues to ensure smooth financial operations

This is a role where accuracy, organisation and a proactive approach really matter.

Who we’re looking for

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Experience in a finance or accounts role

• Proficiency with accounting software (Sage or similar)

• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with data

• Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills

• The ability to work independently as well as collaboratively

• Clear communication skills and a supportive, team focused approach

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy variety in your day, like solving problems, and genuinely care about keeping financial processes running accurately and on time.

Why join Consultus?

You’ll be part of a supportive, people‑first business committed to collaboration, integrity and continuous improvement. You’ll work closely with a friendly Accounting team, gain exposure to core finance processes, and be encouraged to keep growing your skills and confidence.

There is genuine scope to develop in this role, with opportunities to move both up and across the business, alongside support for professional qualifications such as AAT where appropriate.
