If you want a job where you'll actually get to do more than one thing, this could be worth a look.

This is a broad role, you won't spend five days a week doing nothing but processing invoices or chasing the same spreadsheet around.

What will you be doing?

It's a varied Accounts Assistant role, giving you exposure to several areas of the finance function rather than keeping you focused on just one.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Processing and allocating cash receipts to customer accounts
  • Completing bank reconciliations and investigating discrepancies
  • Managing the sales ledger and ensuring accounts are accurate and up to date
  • Supporting credit control, chasing overdue invoices and resolving customer queries
  • Processing supplier invoices and preparing regular AP payment runs
  • Reconciling supplier statements and resolving any differences
  • Assisting with the preparation and submission of VAT returns
  • Supporting month-end processes and the wider finance team as required


What are they looking for?

You don't need to be the finished article.

You'll probably have worked in an accounts or finance role already and have a reasonable understanding of how a finance department works.

Maybe you're an Accounts Assistant who wants more variety, or perhaps you've spent most of your time in purchase ledger, sales ledger or credit control and you're ready to broaden your experience.

Either way, you'll need to be comfortable with numbers, reasonably handy with Excel and the sort of person who notices when something doesn't look right rather than assuming somebody else will sort it.

Most importantly, you'll be keen to learn.

Why consider it?

You'll get exposure to different areas of finance, work alongside people you can learn from and have the opportunity to take on more responsibility as you develop.

What else?

  • Hybrid and flexible working
  • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
  • Various employee benefits / retail discounts

So, if your current role has started to feel a bit repetitive or you're simply ready for the next step, click apply now.
