Finance Assistant

Office Angels • Permanent • Edinburgh, City Of Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom • £27k / year • 2h ago

Finance Assistant
Location: West Edinburgh (fully office based)
Contract: Permanent, full time
Salary: £27,000

Ready to take your finance skills to the next level in a role where data, technology, and
improvement are front and centre?

We're exclusively partnering with a forward thinking Edinburgh based business to recruit a Finance Assistant who isn't just great with numbers but genuinely excited about data, automation, and smarter ways of working.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't your typical transactional finance role.

Yes, you'll own key areas like payables, receivables, and credit control. But beyond that, you'll be encouraged to:

Use data intelligently
Leverage Excel at an advanced level
Explore AI tools for analysis and efficiency
Drive improvements in finance processes

If you enjoy working with complex spreadsheets, spotting patterns, and thinking "there must be a better way to do this," this role will suit you perfectly.

What You'll Be Doing

Core Finance Responsibilities

Processing supplier invoices and managing payment runs
Raising accurate client invoices in line with agreements
Monitoring aged debt and managing credit control activities
Supporting reconciliations, audits, and month end processes

Where You'll Add Real Value

Building and analysing datasets using advanced Excel (including pivot tables and VLOOKUP)
Identifying inefficiencies and helping to automate manual processes
Supporting improvements across finance systems and workflows
Exploring AI tools and data-led approaches to enhance reporting and insight

What We're Looking For

Previous experience in a finance or accounts role
A genuine interest in AI and data analysis within finance
Curiosity around automation and continuous process improvement
A mindset focused on improving efficiency and challenging existing processes
Strong hands on experience with accounting software
Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables and VLOOKUP

What's In It For You?

Opportunity to develop both technical finance and data skills
Exposure to modern tools, systems, and ways of working
A supportive, forward thinking team environment
Pension and Private Medical

Interested?
If you're looking for a finance role where you can combine accounting, data, and innovation, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow within a business that values fresh thinking.
