Finance Assistant

Description

We’re looking for a highly organised and detail-focused Finance Assistant to join our busy team. Based at Honingham Thorpe, you’ll play an important role in ensuring invoices are processed accurately and on time, queries are resolved promptly, and our Members and suppliers receive a professional, efficient service.

You’ll work closely with suppliers, buyers, Members and colleagues across the business, supporting both purchase ledger activity and the sales ledger team during corrections week. You’ll process invoices, credit notes and correction paperwork, maintain accurate records in NetSuite and Harrier, and help the wider team during busy periods.

Key Responsibilities

· Validate and process invoices received by post, email, Esker or F4F accurately and within agreed timescales.

· Raise and resolve invoice queries with suppliers and buyers, including correcting inaccurate invoicing.

· Process supplier credit notes and ensure invoice corrections include any associated credits.

· Support the monthly post-out process and the sales ledger team during corrections week.

· Process Member correction documentation and all related paperwork in Harrier within monthly deadlines.

· Record Member queries accurately in the NetSuite CRM system and respond with a professional, customer-focused approach.

· Support the wider team by answering calls, responding to emails and completing tasks during peak periods.

· Assist with ad hoc administration and other reasonable tasks that support the needs of the business.

About You

You’ll be comfortable working in a busy office environment and take pride in delivering accurate work and excellent customer service. You’ll be friendly, approachable and proactive, with the confidence to use your initiative while collaborating effectively with colleagues and stakeholders.

· Strong written and verbal communication skills.

· Excellent attention to detail, organisation, time management and prioritisation.

· Confidence using digital platforms, including Microsoft Office.

· An understanding of invoices, credit notes and VAT.

· A positive, resilient and methodical approach, with a strong sense of ownership.

Experience in sales ledger, query management or invoice processing would be an advantage, as would knowledge of Harrier and NetSuite, customer service training, and an understanding of the agricultural industry.
