Job Description

A growing manufacturing business in Burton‑on‑Trent is looking for a Finance Assistant to join its friendly, high‑performing finance team. This is an ideal opportunity for someone studying AAT or newly qualified, who wants hands‑on experience across management accounts, payroll, reporting and wider business operations.

If you enjoy variety, responsibility and being part of a supportive team, this role will give you the perfect platform to grow.

What You’ll Be Doing

  * Supporting the Financial Controller and working closely with a small finance team

  * Preparing month‑end accounts, journals, accruals and prepayments

  * Producing monthly reporting packs for the Group

  * Maintaining the CapEx project ledger

  * Assisting with inventory reconciliations including intercompany stock and average costing

  * Helping analyse production variances

  * Preparing the monthly payroll and supporting weekly payroll

  * Managing pension contributions and payments

  * Approving employee expenses via Concur

  * Overseeing the HR system administration

  * Preparing VAT returns

  * Supporting the annual budget process

  * Assisting with year‑end audit

  * Administering the UK vehicle fleet

  * Helping prepare and authorise supplier payment runs

  * Supporting sales and purchase ledger, cashbook, intercompany transactions and recharges

  * Getting involved in future projects, including a major ERP implementation

What You’ll Bring

  * Experience working in a finance team with exposure to monthly management reporting

  * Confident using Excel

  * Strong organisation and communication skills

  * Studying towards or newly qualified AAT

Why This Role Stands Out

  * Broad, hands‑on finance exposure — ideal for developing your career

  * Supportive team and a business that invests in its people

  * Opportunity to contribute to major projects, including new systems implementation

  * Part of a stable, successful international group

If you’re an ambitious AAT‑level finance professional looking for a varied role with real development potential, this could be the perfect next step
