Job Details

This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking to join a busy team, delivering work with direct financial and operational impact in an innovative, fast-growing business. With plenty of opportunity for growth, if you have a keen eye for detail, a positive approach to your work and can work quickly and accurately, this is the perfect position for you.

Day to day, you will be responsible for invoicing our customers, responding to their queries, processing bank receipts, and acting as a key contact between the Finance and Sales team.

You’ll be a key member of the Finance team, sometimes covering the Accounts Payable and Credit Control functions during holidays.

To succeed in the role, you will have:

  • A solid understanding of accounting principles
  • Strong numeracy and attention to detail, spotting mistakes as they arise
  • The ability to adapt, multi-task, and learn quickly in a fast paced and changing environment
  • A passion for spreadsheets, as we use excel and gsheets a lot
  • Great organisational skills – you’ll need to be able to juggle lots of different tasks and prioritise, as you will have competing demands on your time
  • Brilliant communication skills to help our customers with their queries and to enable you to establish strong working relationships with other Twinklees
  • A strong work ethic, take pride in what you do

In this role, you will learn:

  • How to engage with the finance management of Twinkl, as well as internal (e.g. Schools & Cares teams) and external stakeholders (such as suppliers and banks)
  • How to develop your existing knowledge and skills in a growing team
  • The potential to take advantage of our internal Learning & Development courses

You’ll work with:

  • Finance team - there are currently 8 of us, a small but well connected, supportive team
  • Sales team - a big, lovely team; they will be your other main contacts at Twinkl

Requirements

We're interested in anyone who meets one, or a combination of the following:

  • A degree in a relevant subject, AAT or equivalent
  • Experience of using Sage, Quickbooks, or another accounting software
  • Positive working attitude and enthusiasm towards learning new skills

Twinkl are proud to be an Equal Opportunities Employer. We celebrate diversity within all of our teams and are committed to continuing to build an inclusive workplace for all. If you require a reasonable adjustment to the application/selection process to enable you to demonstrate your ability to perform the job requirements please include this at the foot of your covering letter. This will help us to understand any modifications we may need to make to support you throughout our selection process.

Benefits

This role offers full Study Support towards CIMA or ACCA qualification. This includes all tuition, exams, and leave for each exam.

In return for everything you can bring, we can offer you an exciting role in a fast-growing and dynamic business, with plenty of career opportunities.

Here’s a couple of the things that make Twinkl a great place to be:

  • A friendly, welcoming and supportive culture. We believe work should be fun and always put people before process.
  • Flexible working with opportunities to work from home.
  • Diversity, inclusion and belonging - our Employee Network Program includes working groups for LGBTQ+, People of Colour, Disabilities (visible and invisible), Women in Tech and Working Parents.
  • Continuous Professional Development (CPD) - Our ever-evolving program includes: Monthly progression reviews, Twinkl’s Management Scheme, commercial awareness training, leadership coaching quads, career chats and mentoring.
