Finance Apprentice

Introduction

Doordeals is a successful, established business with a friendly, down-to-earth team and a real focus on doing things properly.

We’re now looking for a Finance Apprentice to join the business and learn the foundations of a busy finance function while working towards your apprenticeship qualification.

About the Employer

Doordeals Ltd is one of the UK’s leading independent online timber door retailers, with a proud heritage dating back to 1971. Based in Chesterfield, our modern showroom, offices, and distribution centre reflect our continued growth and commitment to quality. We specialise in supplying a wide range of internal and external doors, offering both standard and bespoke solutions to homeowners, builders, and developers nationwide. Our success is built on strong values: exceptional customer service, knowledgeable staff, and a dedication to treating every customer with care and respect. We’ve invested in our own fleet and logistics to ensure smooth delivery and support from enquiry to aftercare. Joining Doordeals means becoming part of a forward-thinking, customer-focused team where apprentices are valued and supported. You’ll gain hands-on experience in a thriving business that’s passionate about quality, service, and innovation.

What You'll Do

No two days will look exactly the same, but your typical week could include:

• Scanning and inputting purchase invoices
• Coding invoices and allocating them to the correct ledger accounts
• Sending invoices to account customers
• Checking supplier invoices against delivery notes
• Checking prices against supplier price lists and identifying any discrepancies
• Assisting with bank reconciliations
• Reconciling supplier statements and helping investigate any differences
• Keeping finance records and systems accurate and up to date
• Supporting the wider team with general finance and office duties
• Learning more about the finance function and taking on additional responsibilities as your knowledge develops

You’ll have support around you while you learn, but we’ll also encourage you to ask questions, use your initiative and understand why you’re doing something rather than simply following a process.

You may be considered for a full-time permanent role upon successful completion.
