Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Accounts Assistant to join a busy SME where no two days are quite the same.

This isn’t a role where you’ll be stuck in one corner of the finance function doing the same thing day in, day out. We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting stuck into the detail, knows their way around a ledger and can spot when something doesn't quite add up.

You’ll have a good mix of Purchase Ledger, Sales Ledger, Credit Control, reconciliations and general finance duties, with plenty of opportunity to get involved across the wider business.

What you'll be doing

• Looking after the Purchase and Sales Ledgers, including multi-currency transactions


• Managing the AP ledger and keeping supplier accounts accurate and up to date


• Supporting Credit Control and keeping on top of outstanding payments


• Posting and reconciling company credit cards and expenses


• Getting involved with the company's invoice factoring facility


• Posting transactions and carrying out regular reconciliations


• Investigating discrepancies and figuring out where things have gone slightly off-piste


• Using Sage 50 as part of your day-to-day finance work


• Using Excel to manage and analyse information, including VLOOKUPs and SUMIFs


• Helping with reporting and those inevitable \"can you just...\" finance jobs that crop up


• Working across multiple priorities and keeping things moving in a fast-paced SME
