An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Finance Administrator to join a successful, employee-owned business based on the outskirts of Banbury, Oxfordshire (5 miles from Banbury/accessible by public transport).

This is a varied position with a strong focus on sales ledger and would suit someone in the early stages of their finance career who has gained around 1-2 years’ experience and is now looking for their next step.

You’ll be joining a friendly and supportive finance team within an established business that genuinely values its people. There will be plenty of opportunity to build on your existing finance experience, take on more responsibility and develop your career over time.

The Role

Working as part of the finance team, your responsibilities will include:

  • Raising sales invoices
  • Maintaining and reconciling the Sales Ledger
  • Receipting and reconciling client purchase orders
  • Monitoring un-invoiced balances, debtors and landed margin
  • Proactive credit control and chasing overdue payments
  • Preparing and issuing client statements

  • Producing Sales Ledger reports for management
  • Managing the finance inbox and responding to queries
  • Providing Purchase Ledger cover when required
  • Credit card administration and reconciliations
  • Supporting PO approvals and wider finance administration
  • Looking for opportunities to improve processes and make better use of technology and AI

About You

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Around 1-2 years’ experience within finance/accounts, potentially gained after university, college or leaving school
  • Some previous exposure to sales ledger, accounts receivable, invoicing or credit control
  • Good attention to detail and organisational skills
  • A proactive, positive and reliable approach
  • A professional approach, with good communication skills and confidence dealing with customers
  • Comfortable using Excel and finance systems
  • An interest in using technology to improve processes and ways of working
  • Sage experience would be advantageous, but isn’t essential

This would suit someone who has gained a good foundation in finance and is keen to learn, develop and take the next step in their career.

What’s on Offer?

  • £27,000 salary
  • Annual bonus of up to 10%
  • Hybrid working
  • 20 days’ holiday + bank holidays, rising annually to 25 days
  • Life cover and wellness benefits
