We're working on a confidential basis with a well-established business to find an Accounts Assistant who enjoys getting the detail right and wants a proper say in how the finance function runs.
This is a hands-on role in a busy team. You'll share responsibility for accounts payable, keep the records clean and accurate, and get genuinely involved in month-end. It suits someone who likes owning their work, tends to spot the discrepancies before anyone else does, and prefers variety over one narrow lane.
What you'll be doing
- Running the accounts payable function alongside a colleague, including preparing and processing payment runs
- Processing supplier invoices accurately and making sure creditors are paid on time
- Keeping financial spreadsheets and accounting records up to date
- Reviewing and reconciling employee expense claims in line with company policy
- Supporting month-end, including reconciliations and reporting
- Administering company fuel card records and transactions
- Providing finance and admin support to the wider team, and picking up ad hoc tasks as they arise
Who this will suit
- Someone with experience in accounts payable, finance or a similar accounting role
- Ideally AAT qualified or studying towards it, or with equivalent experience, and confident with double-entry, accruals and prepayments
- Strong on Excel, including Pivot Tables and SUMIFS
- Comfortable with accounting software, ideally Sage
- Organised, accurate and calm under a deadline, with a good eye for numbers that don't quite add up
- Happy working independently, but a real team player when it counts
