Are you a confident finance professional looking to take greater ownership of core accounting processes while developing your business partnering experience? We are seeking an Assistant Financial Accountant to join our Company Finance Team and help deliver accurate, timely and insightful financial information across HFL Education.

Playing an important part in the Company Finance Team, you will support month-end and year-end activities, prepare balance sheet reconciliations, maintain the fixed asset register, produce VAT returns, review payroll outputs and journals, and prepare rolling cash flow forecasts. You will also provide practical financial support and constructive challenges to budget holders, contribute to audit work, and help strengthen our systems, controls, and processes.

You will bring a sound understanding of financial accounting, strong Excel skills, and excellent attention to detail. Organised, proactive and comfortable managing competing deadlines, you will be able to work independently and to build effective relationships across the business. Experience of finance systems is essential, while experience of Xero, VAT-reporting or supporting budget holders would be particularly valuable.

Our collaborative Company Finance Team works across HFL Education to safeguard financial control, collect income efficiently, pay suppliers promptly, and provide reliable information for decision-making. If you are ready to broaden your finance experience and make a valued contribution to an organisation that supports schools and educational settings, we would love to hear from you.

Would you like to know more information about this opportunity? If so, further information can be found in the job outline. You can also contact Jackie Wilson or Andrew Griffiths who would be happy to chat to you, via lesley.parker@hfleducation.org.
