Are you an experienced Accounts Assistant looking for a part-time role where you can put your sales ledger and credit control skills to use?

• Supporting other accounts activities and providing cover during the Accounts Manager's annual leave.

What you will bring

• You will have practical experience of sales invoicing, accounts receivable and credit control, alongside good Excel skills and confidence using accounts software.
• Xero experience would be an advantage, but we will also consider applicants experienced with other accounts software who are willing to learn Xero.
• You will be accurate, reliable and comfortable communicating with customers and colleagues. You will also be able to organise your workload and meet invoicing and month-end deadlines.
• Purchase ledger, banking, expenses or Pleo experience would be useful. You do not need experience in every area, but willingness to learn and provide cover across the accounts function is essential.
