Finance Assistant

Looking to join a fast growing SME with a passion for collaboration and learning and development?

At ShuttersUp, we design and install beautiful bespoke plantation shutters across London and the South East. Since 2006, we’ve built a business we’re proud of, one centred on doing the right thing for customers and colleagues alike.

We’re now looking for a Finance Assistant to join a growing function reporting to the Finance Manager and be part of an office team that always seeks to go above and beyond for each other.

We see this as a great foundational role which can act as a springboard for future career development whilst gaining day to day experience and study progression.

What you can expect:

  • A hands-on transactional finance role covering sales and purchase ledger predominantly, and other aspects such as commissions, and reporting
  • Hybrid working, combining office collaboration with home flexibility
  • A supportive, close-knit team who genuinely help each other
  • The chance to contribute ideas, improve processes, and add real value beyond “just posting numbers”
  • Training, mentoring, and support if you’re pursuing AAT or similar qualifications

Why work for us?

  • £26,000 basic salary
  • Study support
  • 22 days holiday + 8 bank holidays, + an extra day off for your birthday (growing by 1 day / year from year 3)
  • Pension scheme
  • Uniform provided
  • Health & wellbeing assistance programme
  • A growing, profitable business with around 60 people — and very low staff turnover

“People really matter here. You’re supported, trusted, and encouraged to grow.”

What you’ll be doing:

  • Posting sales and purchase ledger transactions accurately in Xero
  • Preparing supplier payment runs and doing reconciliations
  • Processing monthly commissions
  • Producing stock and receivables reports
  • Responding to internal and external finance queries professionally
  • Supporting the wider office team as needed
  • Getting involved in ad-hoc tasks and continuous improvement

About you:

  • Previous experience in an accounts or finance role
  • Keen to progress your career, ideally working towards AAT or equivalent
  • Confident using Excel and comfortable with financial systems
  • Highly organised, methodical, and detail-focused
  • Friendly, professional, and confident communicating with colleagues and customers
  • Proactive, solution-focused, and willing to go the extra mile
  • You share our values of humility, collaboration, honesty, learning, and excellence
