Assistant Accountant

Are you an ambitious finance professional looking for a broad, hands‑on accounting role where you can develop your skills and make a real impact?
I’m currently recruiting for an Assistant Accountant to join a well‑established and growing organisation. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working across a wide range of finance activities, from management accounts and reporting through to treasury, forecasting, audit support and business analysis.
Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, you’ll play a key role in delivering accurate and insightful financial information to senior stakeholders. This is a varied position that offers exposure to multiple areas of finance, providing excellent development opportunities for someone looking to progress their career.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting monthly, half‑year and annual financial reporting processes.
- Assisting with budgeting, forecasting, VAT returns and management reporting.
- Preparing journals, maintaining accounting records and providing variance analysis with meaningful commentary.
- Completing balance sheet reconciliations and supporting strong financial controls.
- Managing bank reconciliations, cash flow forecasting and supplier payment runs.
- Processing purchase invoices, raising purchase orders and issuing sales invoices.
- Supporting credit control activities and maintaining accurate financial records.
- Maintaining fixed asset registers and year‑end reporting schedules.
- Assisting with annual audit requirements, statutory accounts preparation and financial modelling projects.
This opportunity would suit an organised and analytical individual who enjoys problem‑solving and working collaboratively across a business.
We’re keen to speak with candidates who have:
- Previous experience within a finance or accounting role.
- Strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to their work.
- Good Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
- The ability to communicate financial information clearly to a range of stakeholders.
- Experience working with accounting systems.
- A flexible mindset and willingness to support ongoing finance projects.
An accountancy qualification, or active study towards one, would be advantageous but is not essential.
What’s in it for you?
- A varied and rewarding finance role with exposure to senior stakeholders.
- Opportunities to develop your technical and commercial finance skills.
- A supportive and collaborative working environment.
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Employer pension contribution.
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
- Long‑term career development opportunities within a growing organisation.
If you’re looking for your next step in finance and would like to join a business where you can genuinely add value and broaden your experience, I’d love to hear from you.
