Job Description

Are you a detail-oriented finance professional looking for your next opportunity to make a difference? We're looking for a Finance Assistant to join a dedicated finance team within a national charity, supporting vital work that has a real impact.
In this role, you'll play a key part in ensuring the smooth running of financial processes, from maintaining purchase ledgers and processing payments to reconciling accounts and supporting colleagues across the organisation. Reporting to the Financial Accountant, you'll provide essential support during busy periods such as month and year end.
Key responsibilities include:
Managing the purchase ledger, ensuring accurate recording and VAT treatment
Maintaining the invoice system and supplier records
Reconciling bank accounts and company credit cards
Setting up weekly BACS payments
Posting fundraising income and creating sales invoices
Providing support with debtor management and credit control
Managing finance inboxes, responding promptly to queries
Supporting the finance team with year-end and ad-hoc tasks
About you:
We're looking for someone who combines strong technical skills with a proactive and collaborative approach. You'll ideally have an AAT qualification (or be working towards one) and experience within a charity, not-for-profit, or VAT-registered organisation. Experience with SUN accounting software is desirable but not essential.
You'll need to be confident with Excel and have excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and the ability to manage your workload effectively. Just as importantly, you'll be approachable, a great communicator, and someone who enjoys working as part of a team.
This is a temporary position, with hybrid working (two days per week in the London office). It's a great opportunity for someone looking to use their finance skills in a supportive and mission-driven environment.
