I''m working with a growing organisation in Worcestershire that is looking to appoint a Finance Assistant to support their busy finance team. This is a great opportunity for someone who has either recently completed (or is close to completing) their AAT Level 4 qualification and is looking for a varied role with room to develop and take on more responsibility, or somebody looking to do their AAT with study support.

• Liaise with internal stakeholders regarding aged debt and cash collections
• Maintain and update finance process documentation
• Contribute to team projects and support wider finance activity as needed

Finance Assistant Profile:

• AAT Level 3 or 4 (studying, qualified or open to study support for this)
• High attention to detail with a methodical approach to work
• Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, PivotTables etc.)
• Familiarity with Sage 50 or similar accounting software is desirable
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
• Highly organised, able to prioritise tasks effectively in a deadline-driven environment
