3. Auditing & Compliance

  • Prepare and organise documentation for internal and external audits.
  • Ensure compliance with UK accounting standards, relevant financial regulations, and company policies.
  • Assist in maintaining proper VAT documentation and filing support.

4. Data Management

  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date financial records, both digital and physical.
  • Validate data accuracy across systems and flag inconsistencies proactively.
  • Ensure audit trails are complete and easy to reference.

5. Communication & Collaboration

  • Work closely with internal teams (Purchasing, Operations, Customer Support) to clarify financial queries.
  • Communicate with suppliers regarding invoices, payments, and statement reconciliations.
  • Support ad-hoc financial requests from management.

6. Administrative & Ad-Hoc Tasks

  • Experience using accounting software (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks, Sage) is highly desirable.
  • Strong proficiency in Excel (VLOOKUP, pivot tables, data cleaning).
