Finance Administrator

27,000 - 28,500, Burgess Hill, 37.5 hours per week (Monday to Friday, 08:15-16:15), Permanent, 20 days holiday + bank holidays, Christmas and New Year office closure, free tea and coffee

The Role
We are seeking a methodical and reliable Finance Administrator to join a small, close-knit Finance & HR team within a successful business based in Burgess Hill. This is a hands-on, full-time office-based role offering full training and the opportunity to grow your skill set over time. You'll report to the Finance, Payroll & HR Manager and work alongside experienced team members to support all core finance administration processes. The role suits someone who enjoys routine, works with precision, and thrives in a supportive environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Daily banking and sales invoice processing using Sage Line 50 and an invoice discounting portal
• Proforma payment logging, petty cash processing, and account reconciliations
• Daily credit control including issuing statements and maintaining contact records
• Coding and reconciling credit card receipts and expense claims
• Supporting monthly payroll preparation with attendance data and spreadsheets
• Customer and supplier account maintenance, credit checks, invoicing and credit note processing
• Managing utility logs, resolving finance queries, and handling carrier insurance claims
• Filing, document archiving, post distribution, and maintaining office supply stock levels
• Supporting finance leadership and assisting with other administrative finance tasks as required

Requirements
Experience in a finance or banking environment is highly desirable, along with strong numerical ability and a detail-focused mindset. Confidence with MS Office, especially Outlook, Excel and Word, is essential. Prior use of Sage Line 50 and online banking tools is desirable, and experience in credit control or payroll preparation would be a bonus. This role requires a team player who is organised, enthusiastic, and calm under pressure. AAT Level 2 or 3 is welcome but not essential; attitude and experience matter more.

This role could suit someone who has worked as a Finance Assistant, Accounts Administrator, or Sales Ledger Clerk.

Company Information
This is a long-established and growing company with a supportive, down-to-earth culture. The team values accuracy, consistency and a strong work ethic. As a small business, everyone contributes to shared success, and the company takes pride in offering opportunities for employees to develop their skills in a stable and friendly environment.
