Finance & Operations Assistant

Salary - From £27,000 p.a. (not including professional qualification study support)

Location - Hybrid working from home, Edinburgh head office, Glasgow and/or other community venues

Contract Type - Permanent, full-time, 35 hours per week

Purpose of the role:

At the heart of our organisation lies the Finance team, who play a pivotal role in ensuring the health, stability, and growth of the organisation. Reporting to the Fund Accountant, this role will serve to support across the various finance functions where you will bear key responsibilities over Accounts Payable & Receivable, Credit Control, and Bank Management, whilst supporting the Investment Team to release loan funds to customers.

With a large and varied portfolio of customers within the organisation, you will work to ensure that there is a robust collections process. You will also find yourself supporting within an Operations capacity, ensuring areas such as maintenance of annual leave system and induction process remain tight and up to date.

You will have Finance experience, perhaps working for a social enterprise or charity where you will have a full understanding of the finance processes across Accounts Payable & Receivable, Credit Control and Cash & Banking. This will include invoice processing, payment runs, bank reconciliations and the collection of outstanding funds. The Finance & Operations Assistant should feel confident challenging processes that could potentially be streamlined, and contributing towards an efficient and value-adding team.

You will be expected to work towards a relevant professional qualification (e.g. ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, ICAS) and you will have four weeks of allotted study leave per year in addition to your annual holiday allowance to facilitate this. SIS will cover the costs of registration and membership with the associated professional body, exam bookings (for one instance, resits will not be covered), and training materials for remote study.
