Are you looking to start or grow your career in finance? Our client, an industry-leading company that’s growing rapidly through acquisitions, is looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their finance team on an immediate basis.

This role would suit someone already working in a junior accounts role but it’s equally well suited to a keen graduate, or someone studying towards their AAT, ACCA or CIMA, who’s looking for their break into a finance career. If coming from a graduate background, it’s necessary you studied accountancy related modules as part of your degree. Full training and support will be given, so what matters most is your attitude, accuracy and willingness to learn.

Please note: this role needs to be filled urgently, so candidates who are immediately available or able to start within one week’s notice will be prioritised. Own transport is also required due to office location.

The role

You’ll help process supplier invoices, credit notes and related documents accurately and on time, supporting the wider finance team with reporting, payments and query resolution. Day to day, you’ll:

• Supplier statement reconciliations
• Managing the ticketing system
• Processing proforma payments
• Creating and amending supplier accounts
• Requesting invoices
• Handle invoice or supplier payment queries

What we’re looking for

• Experience in an accounts admin position, or a graduate/AAT/ACCA/CIMA studier keen to build a career in finance
• Available immediately or on a maximum of one week’s notice
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy when working with financial data
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office, especially Excel; happy to pick up new accounting software
• Good organisational and time management skills
• Clear, professional communication skills, written and verbal
• A positive, can-do attitude and a genuine willingness to learn
• Reliable, with a strong work ethic and a team-player mindset
