This role sits close to the day-to-day operations of the business, working alongside project delivery and marketing teams to ensure accurate financial control across live projects. This is not a purely technical or qualification-led role — practical, hands-on experience is key.

The Role

You’ll play an important role in supporting project teams from a financial perspective, ensuring accurate payroll, VAT compliance and reliable project profit reporting across the business.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the detail, supporting stakeholders, and keeping projects financially on track in a fast-paced, agency environment.

• Provide hands-on finance support to project and marketing teams
• Review project budgets, costs and monthly profit recognition
• Ensure accurate project revenue and margin reporting
• Manage UK payroll and related reporting
• Handle UK & EC VAT, working with a wide pool of European vendors and clients
• Support supplier payments, cashflow and credit control
• Assist with month-end close and financial reporting
• Liaise with external accountants, payroll providers and banks

About You

• Strong hands-on finance experience within an agency or project-based business
• Good working knowledge of UK payroll
• Solid understanding of UK & EC VAT
• Experience reviewing project profitability and revenue recognition
• Comfortable working closely with non-finance teams
• Organised, detail-focused and commercially aware
• Proactive and collaborative in your approach
