• Processing invoices, payments and expenses
• Completing bank and credit card reconciliations
• Dealing with supplier and customer queries
• Supporting credit control activities
• Assisting with month-end processes

We're looking for someone who:

• Has a good grounding in transactional accounts
• Is comfortable working across purchase and sales ledger
• Has good Excel skills and experience with accounting systems
