Part time (21 hours per week with flexible working)
Closing date: 08 March 2026
1st Stage Interview : Thursday 12th March
2nd Stage Interview: Monday & Tuesday 16th & 17th March
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is the independent, self-regulatory body for advertising in the UK and works to ensure that ads are legal, decent, honest and truthful. Our work includes acting on and investigating complaints as well as proactively monitoring and taking action against misleading, harmful or offensive ads.
We are seeking a Finance Assistant to work in a small team to assist the Finance Manager to maintain the accounting records for the ASA and related companies.
More about the role
This is a busy and varied role. The ideal candidate would need to be familiar with all aspects of day to day finances, e.g. Sales Ledger, Purchase Ledger, Nominal Ledgers, preparing payments runs, and other administrative duties. You would be using Accounts IQ accounting software, so experience of this would be an asset, but the right candidate will be supported to learn this. We are looking to recruit someone part AAT qualified or with the equivalent level of work experience.
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone with excellent attention to detail and accurate data entry who can work independently managing their own workload and who can also work collaboratively as part of a team. You will be a good problem solver with the ability to identify and resolve issues. With excellent customer service and communication skills as you’ll be working with stakeholders across the business, suppliers and customers.
We operate a hybrid working model and office attendance is required 40% of your contracted hours
We think the ASA is a great place to work, with a fantastic office in Shoreditch, London. We have a culture that’s open, friendly and collaborative, with a real focus on making the right decisions in the right way and learning while we’re doing it.
We welcome applications from all sections of society, and we’re committed to being a diverse and inclusive organisation, both so we can represent everyone in the UK and so our own colleagues feel at home at work.
How to apply: If you are interested in applying for this role, please review the job description below and complete the online questions outlining how you meet the requirements of the role and how you can contribute to the success of the team.
Please do not enter your name in any of the fields unless asked to do so. This is to help our managers to shortlist applications without knowing your name, gender, ethnicity or nationality. Thank you for your co-operation.
Please note we do not have a sponsorship licence and are unable to sponsor visas.
We may close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications. If you are interested in this role, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

We are the UK’s independent frontline regulator of ads by legitimate businesses and other organisations in all media, including online. We are authoritative and influential on ad regulation; the centre of expertise. The rules we administer and enforce are contained in the UK Advertising Codes, written by the industry Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP). To help maintain our independence from the industry that funds us, we are primarily funded at arm’s length by the Advertising Standards Boards of Finance (Asbof). Together, the ASA, CAP and Asbof make up the ASA system.
Our purpose is to make sure ads are responsible. Our ambition is to make sure every UK ad is a responsible ad. Our values are to be proactive, collaborative, accountable, transparent and decisive. We want external stakeholders to find us to be: independent in administering the Codes; evidence-based, proportionate, targeted and consistent; and reflective of society, not a social engineer.
We are passionate about what we do because responsible ads are good for people, good for society and good for business. They entertain and inform us, helping us to choose products and services. They fund the media, sport and culture we all enjoy. They can be a force for social good, encouraging us to contribute to good causes, make more responsible choices and stay safe. And they help deliver competition and power the economy. By making sure ads are responsible, we protect people from being misled, harmed or offended, helping them feel more confident in the ads they see and hear.
