About the job
As a Finance Administrator, you will be the backbone of Earthbond’s day-to-day finance operations. You’ll ensure clean books, timely payments and receipts, accurate customer records (including our installment/subscription flows), and reliable month-end management accounts that help the leadership team make confident decisions.
This is a hands-on role: you will take ownership of payroll and statutory remittances (PAYE, pension), VAT filings, bookkeeping, reconciliations, and creation of management accounts each month.
You’ll work closely with Sales, Operations, and Management to ensure cash flows, customer payment plans, and vendor payments are recorded and reconciled correctly.
Job responsibilities
- Maintain day-to-day bookkeeping: post receipts, supplier invoices, journal entries, and petty cash movements.
- Run payroll end-to-end, prepare & submit PAYE/pension remittances and statutory filings on schedule.
- Manage VAT processes: calculate, prepare, and file VAT remittances and supporting schedules.
- Reconcile bank accounts and payment gateway settlements weekly; investigate and resolve mismatches.
- Manage Accounts Receivable: follow up on instalment/subscription invoices, apply receipts, and keep customer ledgers current.
- Reconcile Account Receivable / payment schedules to the GL monthly (ensure clearing accounts are cleared).
- Process Accounts Payable: validate invoices, schedule vendor payments, and maintain payment authorisation logs.
- Prepare month-end management accounts and packs: accruals, prepayments, reconciliations, P&L commentary, and cashflow notes.
- Produce periodic management reporting: cashflow forecasts, AR aging, AP aging, and finance KPIs.
- Maintain financial controls and documentation: expense claims, approvals, supplier onboarding, and audit trails.
- Support external auditors and accountants with documentation and queries.
About you
You are reliable, methodical, and take pride in clean books. You think in checklists and are obsessive about reconciliations and controls. You communicate clearly, raise issues early, and aren’t afraid to get hands-on.
