You’ll need to be confident working in a fast-paced setting, with constantly changing priorities, and be proactive, always thinking one step ahead.

As the Finance / Executive Assistant, your role will roughly be split as follows:
Finance Assistant support (60%)
- Weekly investment portfolio overview
- Managing of accounts receivable and payables
- Liquidity overview
- Weekly bank reconciliation
- Other ad hoc-administrative responsibilities
EA support (40%)
- Managing a busy diary
- Arranging international travel itineraries
- Preparing expenses
- Other ad-hoc administrative responsibilities surrounding the Founder’s charitable foundation
THE DETAILS
- 12-month Fixed Term Maternity cover starting in December or early January paying up to £45k dependent on experience.

- Hours are 9am – 5.30pm
