Accounts Assistant

Posted by Natalie Wells Recruitment.

Do you dream of working in a Finance team where no one wants to leave?

This is a fabulous opportunity for an established clerk or an AAT student looking for an employer that can offer stability and the chance to develop further.

The financial leadership is engaging and supportive and has built a close-knit team that enjoys working together.

They now need your help!!

The business has grown x25 in the past ten years, and the annual turnover will increase by a further £100m in the next 18 months. As such, the Finance team is expanding.

As an Accounts Assistant, you'll work across both the supplier and customer ledgers-you'll need to be organised, as this is a busy role!

What's more, it's a great role to see all sides of the business as you'll be communicating with suppliers, customers, departmental heads, and your Finance colleagues.

As an Accounts Assistant, you will have a broad range of duties;

From supporting the Accounts Manager with processing employee expenses, daily banking and cashflow management to developing relations with dedicated supplier contacts, processing supplier invoices and raising queries if necessary.

You'll raise customer invoices and provide them with forecasts so they understand their costs and what purchase orders they need to raise. These are large organisations; you'll get to know your contacts, so it won't surprise them that you'll be chasing them if they don't pay on time!

You'll be comfortable with reconciliations; they're everywhere: bank, cash, supplier statements, etc... So, brush up on your MS Excel skills!

If you've used Sage L50 before, that's a bonus, but if not, don't worry; you'll soon pick it up.

  • Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships.
  • Methodical approach and an ability to work under time pressure around month-end.
