Job Description

Interim Finance Officer | Chorley / Hybrid | 3 Months

We are recruiting an experienced Interim Finance Officer to provide additional support to a small finance team within a purpose-led organisation based in Chorley. This is a hands-on, varied role requiring a good all-round finance professional who can quickly pick up a range of responsibilities with minimal supervision. The initial assignment is expected to run until the end of September, with the possibility of an extension. The organisation offers hybrid working, with approximately two to three days each week working from home.

Key responsibilities will include:

Preparing and reconciling prepayments and accruals
	
Posting manual journals
	
Supporting month-end close activities and reporting
	
Updating cash-flow information 
	
Providing cover and support across purchase and sales ledger
	
Completing bank reconciliations and month-end reporting
	
Reviewing new supplier forms and setting up suppliers
	
Checking weekly payment runs
	
Investigating rent and service charge queries received from Housing Benefit Officers
	
Providing general day-to-day support to the Finance Manager
	
Picking up additional finance tasks as required

We are looking for someone with a good grounding in transactional finance and management accounts.

You will need:

Broad, hands-on finance experience
	
Experience of journals, reconciliations and month-end processes
	
Strong Excel skills, including XLOOKUPs/VLOOKUPs, pivot tables and reporting
	
The ability to manage multiple priorities and work to tight deadlines
	
Excellent attention to detail
	
A proactive and self-motivated approach
	
The confidence to work independently and pick up tasks quickly
	
Good written and verbal communication skills
	
A collaborative, positive and solutions-focused attitude

Previous experience within housing would be beneficial but is not essential. Experience of Xero would also be advantageous.

This role would suit an adaptable finance professional who enjoys variety and can quickly become a reliable pair of hands within a busy team.

The role is available for an immediate start, so applicants should be available at short notice
