Job description

I'm working with a long-standing client based in Grantham who is looking to recruit an experienced Accounts Assistant to join their small, friendly finance team. This is a key role with a strong focus on credit control and purchase ledger duties, and it offers the opportunity to take over from a well-respected team member who has been with the business for 16 years.

The company has recently transitioned from manufacturing to a distribution centre, so while the volume of invoicing has reduced, the need for accurate and proactive credit control has increased - especially with a growing number of new customers coming on board.

About the Role:

• You'll be working closely with the Company Accountant, Kevin, as one of a team of two
• You'll have your own office and be expected to handle sensitive information confidentially
• A minimum 2-week handover period is planned ahead of the current postholder's departure on 31st July

Day-to-Day Responsibilities Include:

• Managing aged debt (60/90 days), building strong relationships with customers
• Carrying out credit checks and onboarding new clients
• Processing purchase invoices and maintaining the purchase ledger
• Reconciling petty cash and credit card statements
• Handling bank reconciliations and daily cash postings
• Preparing supplier payment runs

What We're Looking For:

• Solid experience in a similar accounts role
• Proficiency in Sage 50
• Someone who is approachable, detail-focused, and able to handle credit control tactfully
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• A sense of humour and a positive, can-do attitude are essential to fit in with the team

Interview Process:

• Interviews taking place w/c 9th & 16 th June - any day that week

If this sounds like the right opportunity for you or someone you know, please send your CV.
