Job Description

About Thrive:

Thrive is a technology-led accounting business, providing clients with a full finance function service. Based in East Grinstead and serving a London client base, we are best known for our commitment to a purpose beyond profit.

Thrive is a signatory to the Million Tree Pledge and a certified B Corp, striving to achieve a goal beyond profit. Using Xero as our core accounting platform alongside a range of complementary productivity tools, we work with start-up and scale-up businesses in the technology sector. Our services cover everything clients would need from both an in-house team and an external accountant: from routine tax filings to forecasting & analytics, fin-ops, and carbon accounting.

Thrive was founded by an experienced finance director who wanted to offer an alternative to the commoditised and often disappointing compliance-only service traditionally provided to small businesses.

Our clients view us as proactive, value-adding business advisors and an outsourced finance function, offering near real-time financial reporting and analysis enabled by a modern, cloud-based suite of tools.

We're looking for a reliable, hands-on Finance Assistant to support our Finance & Operations teams on a part-time basis (25 hours per week). This role is ideal for someone who enjoys structure, thrives in a team setting, and brings a practical, problem-solving mindset to their work.

We're looking for someone who's happy to 'own their role', support the wider team, and help make our processes more efficient and streamlined. Each week might look a little different, so flexibility and a "pitch-in" attitude are essential.
