Job description

Accounts Assistant (Charity) -Hayle - Up to £26,000

There’s a lot to consider when moving on to a new job opportunity. The role responsibilities need to suit, the remuneration needs to be attractive, and the future prospects need to be bright. But perhaps one of the most important and often overlooked factors to consider is a strong belief in your new employer’svalues and the nature of their operation. If working with a highly ethical organisation that genuinely changes & improves people’s lives means as much as the job that you’re paid to do, this will undoubtedly be an opportunity that will be of interest.

Trial Balance Consulting have been engaged by one of Cornwall’s most respected and fast paced charity’s; an organisation with multi-faceted service offerings, assisting some the county’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged residents.

They seek to recruit an Accounts Assistant to join their small, but highly efficient team. This role is permanent and full time.

Reporting to an experienced and friendly Finance Manager, the main duties of this role will include:

• Overseeing the purchase ledger
• Assisting the Finance Manager in the preparation of year-end accounts
• Bank reconciliations
• Assisting with budgeting
• Ad hoc tasks to support the overall finance function

Whilst this client is looking for someone who has the requisite skill to complete the role, person fit and a passion and willingness to support the charity in its aims is just as important. The successful candidate will likely have at least 18 month’s experience in a similar role, with excellent Microsoft Office skills and a good attention to detail. A positive approach and a real willingness to contribute to the charity is essential - this is a team who work hard but enjoy themselves whilst doing so.
