Finance Assistant

Location: Citywest, Dublin

Industry: Logistics & International Freight Forwarding

Full-Time | Permanent

Salary: Up to €45,000 (Depending on Experience)

About Us:

BBL Logistics is part of a long‑established French‑headquartered federation of logistics companies (Inc. Enterprise Freight) operating across multiple markets. Our Irish & UK division, based in Citywest, Dublin, is scaling rapidly, driven by strong performance in customs and international freight operations.

We’re looking for someone who brings energy, accountability, and a “find the next win” mindset to our growing finance team.

The Role:

As our Finance Assistant, you’ll take ownership of key cash control activities — including banking, receivables, payables, and reconciliations — while supporting broader financial control and working closely with our Finance/Treasury Manager.

This is not a passive processing role. You’ll be hands‑on, proactive, and central to maintaining financial integrity as we continue to scale. A strong understanding of cash flow impact and reconciliations is essential.

Banking & Cash flow

Daily bank reconciliations across 9 accounts and 3 entities
Monitoring currency balances and ensuring adequate funds
Preparing weekly cash flow forecasts
Managing excess funds and group cash pool transfers

Resolving customer queries quickly and professionally
Ensuring revenue accuracy aligned with freight operations

Accounts Payable

Managing the full AP cycle in a high‑volume logistics environment
Supplier account management and discrepancy resolution
Timely and accurate payment processing

Reconciliations & Financial Control

Supplier, customer, inter-company, and bank reconciliations
Identifying and resolving reconciling items
Supporting month‑end close and audit processes

Systems & Process Optimisation

Advanced Excel use for reporting and analysis
Confident use of accounting/ERP systems
Identifying automation opportunities
Leveraging AI‑enabled tools to drive efficiency

What do I need?

A minimum of 3 years’ experience in Banking, Accounts Receivable / Payable or Finance operations.
Accounting/finance qualifications are advantageous, but experience and capability are key
Comfortable in a fast paced, high-volume environment
Detail-focused and highly accurate
Strong MS Excel skills (Pivot tables, lookups, etc.)
IT literate and open to digital/AI tools
Collaborative team player who communicates clearly
