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.

- Identifying automation opportunities
- Leveraging AI‑enabled tools to drive efficiency
What do I need?
