Ref: 1103Thursday 1 October 2026

Lancaster | Circa £35,000 | Permanent | Full-Time

Are you an experienced finance all-rounder looking for a varied role where you can really get involved?

We’re working with an established business in Lancaster who are looking to appoint a Senior Finance Officer to join their finance team.

This is a really varied role for someone who enjoys getting involved in different areas of finance and the wider business. You’ll be a dependable pair of hands within the team, helping to keep things organised, accurate and running smoothly.

It’s not a traditional management accounting role, and you don’t need to be qualified or part-qualified. We’re looking for someone practical, approachable and happy to get stuck in.

The Role

You’ll have a broad remit across finance and will get involved with things such as:

  • Cash management, banking and cash flow reporting
  • VAT returns and indirect tax
  • General accounting and reconciliations
  • Fixed assets
  • Accounts payable and accounts receivable support
  • Invoice processing and general finance administration
  • Insurance renewals and broker liaison
  • Company secretarial and general business administration
  • Legal and property-related matters
  • ONS and statutory reporting
  • Payroll support
  • General support across the wider finance team

What we’re looking for

This could suit someone currently working as a Senior Finance Officer, Senior Bookkeeper, Finance Officer, experienced Accounts Assistant or Accounts Administrator.

You might also be an Office Manager with a strong finance background or an experienced finance all-rounder from an SME environment.

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has solid, practical finance experience
  • Is comfortable with reconciliations, VAT and general finance processes
  • Is organised and pays attention to detail
  • Is confident using Excel and Microsoft Office
  • Is approachable and happy to be a first point of contact
  • Enjoys variety and doesn’t mind getting involved in transactional finance
  • Is reliable, self-motivated and happy to take ownership
  • Is the sort of person who sees something that needs doing and gets on with it

A finance qualification would be beneficial but isn’t essential.

What’s on offer?

  • Circa £35,000
  • Permanent, full-time position
  • Beautiful state of the art office 
  • A varied role with plenty of responsibility
  • The opportunity to become a really valued member of an established finance team
  • A supportive environment where being practical, reliable and willing to get stuck in is genuinely valued

If you’re an experienced finance all-rounder who enjoys variety and likes being the person who gets things sorted, we’d love to hear from you.
