Finance Assistant – Cannock Job at Cannock, Staffordshire Full Time NEW

Looking to work in a small and friendly team?

You will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day and month-end finance operations across the business, with exposure to a broad range of tasks and the opportunity to develop your skills within a business that values its people.

This is an opportunity to join a well-established, family-run business with a close-knit and friendly finance team, offering broad exposure across payroll, month-end, and some exposure to management accounts.

Working closely with the Finance Manager and an experienced team, you’ll be hands-on across the day-to-day finance operations, gaining exposure across multiple group entities. This isn’t a siloed role—you’ll be involved in everything from payroll through to month-end reporting, giving you the variety and development many roles at this level can’t offer.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparing intercompany recharges and reconciling balances at month-end
• Completing bank reconciliations across multiple entities
• Supporting month-end close (journals, accruals, prepayments)
• Assisting with VAT returns and maintaining accurate ledgers
• Supporting management accounts preparation (full training provided)
• Liaising with the wider finance team to meet group deadlines
• Supporting the Finance Manager with ad hoc reporting and projects
• Processing weekly and monthly payroll – a small part of the job

You’ll also gain exposure to a modern cloud-based finance system rollout and work within a business that values accuracy, teamwork, and a hands-on approach.

About You

• AAT Level 4 qualified (or equivalent)
• Previous experience in a finance or accounts role
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach
• Confident using Excel and accounting systems
• Able to manage deadlines and prioritise workload effectively

What’s in it for you

• Salary up to £32,000 depending on experience
• 29 days holiday including bank holidays
• Annual salary reviews in line with market rates
• Company pension scheme
• A friendly, non-corporate working environment with strong team support
• Free on-site parking
• Exposure to management accounts
