Finance Assistant (6-month FTC)

📍 Based in our London office 2 days per week with the remaining 3 days working remotely.

Please note that this role is a 6-month FTC and is ideal for someone looking to start their career in Finance.

Our mission:

• Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Our mission? To provide them with the best renting experience in the world 🌎

• We started Goodlord because we wanted to make renting simple and transparent for everyone involved: the agent, the landlord, and the tenant. We knew Generation Rent would lead to more tenants, with higher digital expectations and we were confident we could provide a solution 🏠

• Like all scale-ups it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster journey, but we’re now stronger than ever, with around 3,000 letting agents using the platform, exciting and varied products and 320 Goodlordians across the group supporting the mission! 💚

The Opportunity:

• Supporting in key project to move customers to a new billing process and system

• Supporting and reporting into our management accountant to deliver key projects

• Working closely with the operations teams and commercial teams to ensure that the correct data is transferred to the new system

• Opportunity to work with netsuite, salesforce and other enterprise grade solutions

• Working with a strong high performing finance team supporting thousands of clients

What we need from you:

• Strong numerical skills, being part of our finance team this is essential - No surprises there though!

• Strong knowledge of Excel and ability to use formulas such as sumifs, xlookup

• Exceptional verbal communication skills with the ability to build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders and customers - via phone, email, hangout and in-person

• Experience working within a finance team is desirable but not essential, ideally reconciling high numbers of transactions

• A degree in Finance or a related field is desirable, but by no means essential - practical experience and a great attitude matter just as much

What's in it for you:

• Grow with Goodlord: your development is important to us, that’s why we are Great Place to Work - certified. Have a goal in mind? Share it with us and you can use your £1000 annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally at Goodlord too!

• Your well-being matters: bi-weekly coaching with Sanctus to provide Goodlordians with a safe place to talk and support your mental health

• 25 days holiday (plus UK Bank holidays) plus 1 day per full holiday year up to 32 days: We believe regular breaks are essential for well-being and we encourage (some may say expect!) all Goodlordians to take full advantage of their annual leave entitlement.

• Supporting your family: we offer Goodlordians of all genders a generous 3 months of fully-paid time off to look after their new arrivals

• Our team: we’re an energetic, sociable, and talented bunch who are super passionate about what we do and determined to make a difference. We’re all in it together, we learn from each other, we’re genuine and we don’t have time for politics
