Senior Consultant - Education Finance Recruitment
About the Role
My client, a long-established school based in the Maidstone area, are looking to recruit a School Finance Assistant to join the finance team on a temporary basis until the end of the school year.
Working under the close tutelage of the Finance Manager, this role will oversee the day-to-day invoicing cycle for the school, including all relevant financial administration around invoice and payment processing, journals and monthly bank account reconciliations. Additionally, the role will give the opportunity to work on budget management and reporting, month end closing and ad hoc financial reporting.
It is imperative that you have experience in using PS Financial or the Iris Accounting System. Applications are sought from individuals’ part or fully AAT qualified, with school’s experience preferred, but similar experience outside of the sector would be considered. The desire to learn and develop under the current finance team is important as there is long term development potential on offer with this role.
My client is looking to fill this role as a matter of urgency so you must be available immediately.
