Finance Assistant

Overview

Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been exclusively engaged by a returning client, a forward-thinking organisation in Truro who are looking for a Finance Assistant to join their busy team. This is a great opportunity for someone with strong organisational and numerical skills, who enjoys working with detail and accuracy, to join a fast-growing business with ambitious plans for the future.

This full-time, permanent position offers a hybrid working arrangement, with up to three days working from home and the remainder based at the business headquarters in Truro. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Finance Assistant to broaden their role. You will begin by working closely with the administration team to understand the current project, before taking on responsibility for setting it up, managing it, and streamlining it.

• Processing and reconciling utility bills to ensure accuracy and timely payment
• Raising and approving purchase orders
• Maintaining accurate spreadsheets and records, identifying anomalies, and liaising with stakeholders
• Handling incoming post and managing electronic/manual filing systems
• Supporting the wider finance team and adapting flexibly to a busy environment

You’ll bring experience from a similar finance role, with strong organisational skills, high levels of numeracy, and excellent attention to detail. Confident in Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook, you’ll be comfortable managing a varied workload, prioritising effectively and maintaining accuracy under pressure. Knowledge of Xero would be an advantage, but what matters most is your proactive, can-do approach, strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.

This is a fast-growing business that has been recognised for its employee care and development, and its credentials for staff retention are second to none. The company promotes a positive, modern approach to working life and offers excellent non-financial benefits. A flexible approach to office or home-based working is available to suit the successful candidate, and if you wish to pursue further studies, this client is always happy to support.
