Full job descriptionFinance & Office AdministratorWatford
Predominantly office-based, with potential for some flexibility
I’m working with a growing business based in Watford that is looking to recruit a capable and proactive Finance & Office Administrator.
This is a genuinely varied role and it is important to be clear from the outset that, certainly initially, this will be a split position. It will involve both finance administration and general office support, so the person coming in needs to be comfortable with both sides.
The finance element is expected to grow as the business continues to develop, but this is not a purely finance-focused role from day one. Alongside accounts and finance administration, you will also be involved in supporting the wider running of the office and helping with general administrative tasks where needed.
For the right person, this could be a really good opportunity to join a growing business, take on a broad role, and gradually build more finance exposure over time.
The role will include:*Processing supplier invoices and helping with payment runs
*Raising sales invoices and supporting customer account reconciliations
*Assisting with bank reconciliations and cash postings
*Helping with month-end tasks, including journals, accruals, prepayments and reconciliations
*Processing expenses and company credit card reconciliations
*Supporting with payroll administration, timesheets and pay run approvals
*Helping monitor spend against budgets and supporting forecasting work
*Maintaining accurate finance records and documentation
*Supporting stock, asset or inventory tracking where required
*Providing general office and administrative support to the wider team
*Helping with day-to-day office coordination and ad hoc administrative tasks
What I’m looking for:I’m keen to speak with people who have experience in accounts, finance administration, bookkeeping, office administration or a similar all-round support role.
You do not need to have worked in exactly this type of position before, but you should be comfortable with finance administration and genuinely happy taking on wider office support duties as part of the role.
The key thing is attitude. This would suit someone practical, organised and willing, who enjoys variety and is happy being involved across different areas of a business.
You’ll need:
*Previous experience in finance, accounts, bookkeeping, office administration or similar
*A good eye for detail and a high level of accuracy
*Strong organisational skills
*Confidence managing a varied workload
*Good Excel and general IT skills
*A flexible and helpful approach
*Good communication skills
*A willingness to get involved outside of a narrow finance remit
This is predominantly an office-based role, as the position involves working closely with the wider team and supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the office. There may be some flexibility available, but anyone applying should be comfortable being mainly based on site.
Why this role?This is a good opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and wants to be part of a growing business. It would suit someone who is happy to roll their sleeves up, support both finance and office administration, and gradually develop their finance responsibilities as the business continues to grow.
