Accounts Assistant

This role, created due to company growth, will be an essential part of our accounts team. We're a supportive, warm and welcoming team, with a wealth of experience between us and a genuine desire to help each other and bring quality to everything we do.

Your duties will involve, but not be limited to:

• Coordination of the finance inbox, responding to emails, and redirecting to others where required


• Answering queries from suppliers, customers and colleagues


• Processing purchase invoices and expenses


• Preparation of the weekly and month-end payment runs


• Reconciliation of the purchase ledger


• Assisting with bank reconciliations


• Setting up new suppliers, including verification of their details (CIS, VAT, bank details etc)


• General administration and other ad-hoc tasks as required


Study support and progression may also be available for candidates who wish to develop further in their role.

To be successful in this role, you must have previous accounts experience, such as Accounts Assistant or Purchase Ledger Clerk. You must also be highly organised and efficient, with outstanding attention to detail. You must be a team player, with strong communication skills (including a great telephone manner) and a "can do" attitude. You must also be flexible, adaptable, and open to change.

Computer literacy is essential, including the ability to use Microsoft tools and Excel to an intermediate level (Pivot tables, lookups). Experience of using cloud-based software, such as Xero, Quickbooks or Sage, would be a bonus - but your approach and attitude towards learning new systems is the most important thing.
