Accounts Assistant

I'm currently supporting a well-established organisation with the appointment of an Accounts Assistant to join their finance team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their finance career to gain broad, hands-on exposure while supporting an experienced Finance Manager.

The role offers a varied workload across transactional finance, reconciliations, and day-to-day accounts support, making it ideal for someone looking to build on existing experience in a structured and supportive environment.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the day-to-day operation of the accounting system
• Processing daily banking activities
• Assisting with reconciliations, ensuring they are completed accurately and on time
• Posting transactions across finance and internal systems
• Raising invoices and supporting billing processes
• Preparing internal transfer documentation
• Supporting monthly billing cycles and submissions
• Processing payments, including bank transfers
• Managing purchase invoices and ensuring timely processing
• Handling customer payments, including card transactions
• Monitoring account balances and supporting account closures
• Assisting with document and file archiving
• Supporting credit control activities
• Updating Excel spreadsheets for reporting and tracking purposes
• Managing own workload effectively with minimal supervision

I'm keen to speak with candidates who:

• Have at least 12 months' experience within an accounts or finance role
• Possess a good understanding of basic accounting principles
• Have experience with purchase and sales ledger duties
• Are confident with reconciliations
• Have solid Excel skills (intermediate level preferred)
• Are IT literate and comfortable using finance systems
• Have strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
