Assistant Accountant
The Role
Assistant Accountant
Full-time | Primarily office based
We’re looking for an ambitious Assistant Accountant to join a growing and supportive finance team.
This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong Purchase Ledger or Accounts Assistant background who is ready to broaden their experience and gain greater exposure to management accounts and month-end activities.
The role will offer a good balance of transactional finance and wider accounting responsibilities, making it ideal for someone who wants to continue developing their career.
The role
You’ll be involved in:
- High-volume purchase invoice processing
- Managing invoice queries and exceptions
- Cash allocation
- Bank, credit card and statement reconciliations
- Stock reviews
- Supporting accounting across multiple business entities
- Assisting with month-end activities
- Potential involvement in future finance systems projects
The position is approximately 40% transactional finance and 60% broader accounting support, so there is plenty of opportunity to develop beyond a traditional Purchase Ledger role.
The Person
About you
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- Previous Purchase Ledger or Accounts Assistant experience
- Good reconciliations experience
- Experience working with high-volume transactions
- Strong attention to detail
- A positive attitude and strong work ethic
- The ability to manage deadlines and priorities
- A genuine desire to learn and progress
- A collaborative, team-focused approach
Someone currently studying AAT would be particularly well suited, although this isn't essential.
