ROLE OVERVIEW

Millwall Football Club are looking to recruit an organised and motivated apprentice to join the Finance Operations team on a two-year apprenticeship. The role reports to the Finance Operations Lead and covers both sides of transactional finance: paying suppliers and making sure the Club is paid.

The Apprentice Finance Assistant will process supplier invoices, raise sales invoices for the Club’s revenue-generating areas, assist with the credit control process and match bank transactions. The role also provides cover across the team, which is essential to keeping the Club’s finance processes running smoothly.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone starting a career in finance, with on-the-job training and full support to study towards an AAT qualification. The Club will cover all training costs and provide adequate paid time in the working week to complete the qualifications. No prior accounting qualifications or experience are required.

▸ Liaise with internal departments to ensure purchase orders are raised correctly and support the preparation of payment runs.

Invoicing and credit control

▸ Raise invoices for revenue-generating areas (including sponsorship, hospitality, conference & events and catering) promptly from billing instructions, and maintain the billing tracker.

▸ Send statements and payment reminders in line with the credit control procedure and report on aged debtors accurately and in a timely manner.

▸ Escalate overdue debts to the Finance Operations Lead and Head of Finance in line with the agreed escalation steps, keeping a clear record of all contact with customers.

Bank, expenses and cover

▸ Match bank transactions daily and support the preparation of bank reconciliations.

▸ Process staff expenses, including through the Club’s expense management system.
