Join Farewill's Finance Team
Ready to kick-start your career & dive into the world of finance? We're on the lookout for a Finance Assistant to join our tight-knit, high performing team. You’ll report directly to our Finance Manager Holly, work closely with our VP Finance Amy, and span the whole business - learning about each area in turn.

What you'll do
As our Finance Assistant, you'll have the chance to learn the ins and outs of finance from the ground up. From paying the bills to processing invoices and beyond, you'll be at the heart of our core finance processes. You'll have the opportunity to explore ways to streamline and automate our processes, making them even more efficient.

Among other things you’ll own: 
- Accounts Payable 
- Credit Control 
- Bank Reconciliation
- Month End 
- Expense Tracking 
- Filings and Returns 
…and lots more!

If you’ve heard of these things, fantastic! If not, also great! We’re here to support to right candidate (but do have a quick google before we meet).

What's in it for you
This is a rare opportunity to get deep expertise in your discipline, whilst being exposed to every part of a fast-growing tech company. You'll be part of a lean finance team with plenty of room for growth and development.

What we're looking for
Experience isn't necessary – what matters most is your ambition, willingness to learn, ability to work hard, and your attention to detail.

A few logistics to note. After six months on the job, we'll sponsor you to start your accounting qualifications, all while supporting you in your day-to-day responsibilities. Training will be delivered through an apprenticeship programme. As such, we're unable to consider candidates who hold a Master's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field, nor can we provide visa sponsorship for this role.

If this still sounds like you, get in touch - we’d love to hear from you!

What we offer

    • A starting salary of £30k + stock options
    • Hybrid working; our team works a minimum of 2 days/week in our east London office 
    • 28 days of annual leave plus the usual public holidays
    • Regular team socials & company-wide events
    • A chance to make a meaningful contribution to people's lives and deaths
