Callum McKenna
Associate Director
I am working closely, with a superb client of mine with offices based in Burgess Hill, to recruit an Assistant Accountant on a permanent and full-time basis.
This is an on-site role, working alongside an accomplished finance team, in what it is a newly created role.
The position will develop and evolve into a fully-fledged Management Accountant role in time, so plenty of progression for the right candidate.
It’s a busy and varied role within an international business.
Key duties from the off will include…
- Intercompany transactions
- Multi-currency
- Various month-end duties
- Bank Reconciliations
- Overseeing VAT compliance
- Assisting with project costing
- Accruals and Prepayments
- Assisting with Purchase Ledger
- Assisting with the production of financial accounts
The ideal candidate for this role will:
- Have some strong experience in a similar General Ledger role (ie. not just transactional finance work)
- Be AAT qualified or be an active ACCA, ACA or CIMA studier. Though, those that are “qualified by experience” will also be considered for the position
- Be comfortable in a busy and fast-paced finance setting
- Have had some previous experience within a multi-currency/ international environment
- Be happy working in a role which is fully on-site
In return, the successful candidate will receive:
- A great working environment
- A busy finance role, with the genuine opportunity to progress to Management Accountant level in time
- Free parking on-site
- 25 days holiday
- Study support (if needed/ required)
If this does sound as though it may be of interest, then please apply for this position right away!
