This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career within finance, whether you're early in your career, studying AAT, recently graduated, or already experienced within a transactional finance role and looking for a stable environment with genuine progression opportunities.

The business is looking for someone dependable, detail-oriented and proactive. Someone who enjoys being part of the “engine room” of a business and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

The Role

Reporting into the Finance Manager, you’ll support a broad range of finance and administrative processes across the business. This is a varied role offering exposure to accounts payable, invoicing, treasury support, reconciliations and wider finance administration duties.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing invoice inboxes, coding and processing invoices
• Liaising with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Raising purchase orders and sales invoices
• Supporting supplier onboarding processes

• Downloading and managing financial statements and reports

• Strong administrative and organisational skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• Good Excel skills and confidence working with systems/spreadsheets
• A proactive, hands-on approach
• Strong communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities effectively
• Reliability and a positive team-focused attitude

Previous finance administration or accounts experience would be beneficial, although candidates looking to develop within finance will also be considered.

AAT studies (or an interest in studying) would be advantageous, with support available for the right person.

What’s On Offer

• Salary up to £28,000
• Study support available
• Excellent benefits and on-site perks
• Stable and supportive working environment
• Exposure to a broad finance function
• Long-term development opportunities

Chief Executive Officer – US Operations

Finance Assistant

Salary: £25,000 - £28,000 + benefits

Location: Bristol

Duration: Permanent

The Opportunity

We’re working with a fast-growing, award-winning creative business. Known for delivering high-impact, large-scale experiences for globally recognised brands, this is a business that combines creativity with commercial delivery and they’re now looking to strengthen their finance function.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a Finance Assistant who wants more than just processing. You’ll work closely with an experienced Financial Controller and play a key role in supporting the financial health and commercial performance of the business.

The Role

This isn’t a “sit in the corner and process invoices” type of role.

You’ll be embedded in the business, supporting project-level financial tracking, ensuring profitability across campaigns, and helping drive better financial visibility and control.

Day-to-day, you’ll be involved in:

• Running monthly payroll (c.25+ employees)
• Managing bookkeeping and reconciliations in Xero
• Processing purchase and sales invoices
• Supporting freelancer invoicing
• Credit control and managing aged debt
• Reconciling company cards and internal expenses
• Preparing customer statements and payment reminders
• Supporting month-end (accruals, prepayments, reconciliations)
• Liaising with clients and external stakeholders
• Assisting with cash flow and financial reporting

You’ll also have the opportunity to get involved in improving systems and processes, particularly around project profitability and financial tracking.

About You

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on but is also thinking about the bigger picture.

You’ll likely have:

• 1+ years’ experience in a Finance Assistant / Accounts role
• Active studies (or completion) in AAT
• Strong working knowledge of Xero
• Solid understanding of credit control and month-end processes
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, etc.)
• High attention to detail and ability to manage your own workload

Just as importantly, you’ll be:

• Confident communicating with stakeholders
• Organised and proactive
• Commercially aware (or keen to develop this)
• Ambitious, with a clear interest in progressing to Management Accountant level

What’s in It for You?

• Paid Christmas shutdown
• Pension contribution
• Flexible hybrid working (post-probation)
• Regular socials and team events
• Gym contribution
• Occasional perks tied to the nature of the business

Why This Role?

This is a great step for someone who wants to move beyond transactional finance and start building real commercial exposure.

You’ll be working in a fast-paced, creative environment where finance genuinely partners with the wider business, not just reports on it.

If you’re looking for a role where you can develop, add value, and be part of something a bit different, this one is well worth a conversation.

Salary: £50,000 - £55,000 + benefits

Location: Bristol (Hybrid)

Duration: Permanent

We’re working with a growing, multi-entity business looking to bring in a Senior Financial Accountant to strengthen their finance function. This is a business in growth mode, with multiple entities, increasing complexity, and a real need for someone who can own the numbers, tighten controls, and elevate reporting.

You’ll sit at the heart of the finance function, working closely with a high-calibre Head of Finance, taking responsibility for both management and statutory reporting, while helping shape processes as the business continues to scale.

On the statutory side:

• Preparing ETB (Extended Trial Balance) and supporting audit adjustments
• Delivering statutory accounts across group entities within deadlines
• Working closely with external advisors to ensure smooth, compliant reporting

Beyond the Numbers

This role isn’t just about reporting; it’s about progression and improvement:

• Driving process improvements and automation across finance
• Supporting systems enhancements and integrations (ERP / eCommerce / operational systems)
• Playing a key role in finance transformation initiatives
• Promoting strong financial governance and controls across the business
• Supporting and reviewing work within the wider finance team

What We’re Looking For 

We’re looking for someone technically strong, but also commercially aware:

• ACA / ACCA qualified
• 3-5+ years PQE in a fast-paced environment
• Strong background in financial accounting / audit / controllership
• Strong knowledge of FRS 102
• Confident working with senior stakeholders

Bonus points for:

• Experience improving systems or processes
• Exposure to ERP environments / finance transformation

The Person 

You’ll likely be:

• Detail-oriented but able to see the bigger picture
• Commercially minded and solutions-focused
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, regulated environment
• Someone who enjoys ownership, accountability, and improving things
• Collaborative, but confident enough to challenge where needed

Why This Role? 

• Genuine ownership of financial reporting across a group structure
• A business that’s evolving, not standing still
• Opportunity to shape processes and systems, not just follow them
• Strong leadership and a supportive finance environment
• Clear scope to add value beyond your job description
