Finance Assistant (Vendor Requests) - #2079254

This is an ideal role for finance graduates or early-career candidates looking to gain hands-on experience within a professional finance team over the summer, with genuine potential for longer-term opportunities.

Client Details

We're offering an exciting opportunity for a Finance Assistant to join a global business, supporting the Cash & Collections function with a key operational project focused on vendor request processing.

You'll support an important project involving vendor forms and bank detail updates, helping ensure accuracy, compliance, and smooth client communication. This role sits within a collaborative international team, working closely with colleagues both in the UK and the US.

Description

Key Responsibilities

• Process and manage vendor requests, including updates to bank details
• Review and validate client-submitted documentation
• Ensure all changes are accurately recorded in internal systems
• Liaise with clients to request missing information and follow up on outstanding queries
• Maintain well-organised records and ensure data integrity
• Support wider finance administrative activities as required
• Contribute to continuous improvement of vendor request processes

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Exposure to a global finance function with teams across the UK and US
• Opportunity to gain insight into Cash & Collections, Billing, and broader finance operations
• A strong focus on training, development, and progression - with the opportunity to upskill into areas such as credit control
• A business that actively promotes from within and invests in talent
• Potential to extend beyond the initial 3 months or transition into other finance roles

Profile

About You

We're looking for individuals who are:

• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Strong communicators, comfortable liaising with clients

You may be:

• A recent or soon-to-be finance graduate, or
• Someone with finance administrative experience, or

Previous finance experience isn't essential - the right attitude and team fit are key.
