A privately owned, multi-entity SME group (c. £40m turnover) is hiring a Junior Accountant to support a finance function in the middle of a genuine business transformation. This is not a purchase ledger role — it’s a hands-on opportunity to build strong month-end capability and develop quickly with direct exposure to an experienced CFO.
The role (what you’ll be doing)
You’ll take ownership across key accounting areas and support month-end delivery, including:
- Accruals and prepayments
- Balance sheet reconciliations
- Month-end support and contribution to draft management accounts
- Transaction processing with understanding (not just posting)
- Working across a group structure / multiple entities
- Supporting improved controls, reporting and process in a fast-changing environment
- Not a pure AP/AR position
- Not data entry / finance admin
- Not passive “tick box” bookkeeping
To be successful, you’ll need:
- Practical experience with accruals, prepayments and balance sheet recs
- Exposure to month-end (even if not end-to-end)
- Studying AAT (Level 3/4) or early stages of ACCA
- Strong Excel skills — PivotTables / Lookups
- A curious, proactive mindset: you’ll ask questions, spot issues, and improve processes
- A genuine development role: expect “3–5 years’ exposure in 2 years”
- High learning curve in a transformation environment (systems/process/controls improving)
- Designed as a 2–3 year launchpad for someone ambitious and progression-driven
- Salary: £28,500
- Benefits: 20 days holiday, standard pension, free parking
- Location: Office-based (non-hybrid but flexible working) — LE7 area
