About The Job We’re looking for a team-oriented and detail-focused Accounts Receivable Assistant to join our Finance team on a 6-month basis. If you're someone who loves getting stuck into the details, keeping things organised, and making sure everything runs smoothly, this could be the perfect fit. You’ll be based at our Support Centre in Wakefield (Junction 41) with free parking and the flexibility to work in a hybrid setup combining remote working with at least 2 days a week in the office. Your main job will be to make sure all the money coming in from our cardfactory stores and third-party customers is received, reconciled, and processed correctly in our SAP system. You’ll be part of a small, close-knit team that keeps a daily eye on transactions and works closely with store colleagues, banks, cash collection agencies, and our Loss Prevention team. You’ll also be the go-to person for stores when they have finance-related questions, so being approachable and helpful is key. Day to day, you’ll be uploading bank statements, checking for any discrepancies, investigating anything unusual, and helping stores if there are issues like missed collections or bank closures. You’ll also run regular reports to help spot any potential losses and make sure everything adds up. You’ll need to be comfortable with numbers, great at spotting the little details, and confident using Excel, Outlook, and Word. If you have previously worked in a similar role that would be ideal. If you’re self-motivated, eager to learn, and enjoy working with people from all over the business, we’d love to hear from you. #priorityindeednr Sportswift Ltd T/A cardfactory
