Job description

Accounts Assistant (Finance & Credit Control)

Leatherhead | Full-time | Hybrid working available

Are you organised, accurate, and confident working with numbers?

We’re looking for a hands‑on Accounts Assistant to take ownership of our day‑to‑day finance operations — from invoicing and reconciliations to credit control and supplier payments.

This is a great opportunity to join a small, growing business where your work really makes a difference. You’ll work directly with one of our company directors and be trusted to manage your own workload once trained.

If you enjoy structure, problem‑solving, and the satisfaction of keeping everything balanced and running smoothly, this could be the perfect role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Raise and send customer invoices in Xero
• Upload and process supplier invoices and purchase orders
• Submit invoices through customer portals such as SAP Ariba or Coupa, and track payment progress
• Carry out credit control – sending statements, chasing overdue accounts, and keeping customer records up to date
• Reconcile payments and receipts across the ledgers
• Use HubSpot and WooCommerce to check orders, cross‑reference data, and resolve billing queries
• Maintain accurate financial records and support general admin tasks

What We’re Looking For

• Excellent attention to detail and a love of getting things right
• Self‑sufficient and confident managing your own workload once trained
• Comfortable using Excel and online accounting systems like Xero
• Clear, professional communicator – written and verbal
• Reliable, organised, and enjoys routine, process‑based work
• Previous experience in finance, admin, or accounts is helpful but not essential – full training provided

Bonus Points

• Experience with Xero, HubSpot, WooCommerce, or invoice portals (e.g. SAP Ariba, Coupa)
• Basic knowledge of credit control or bookkeeping

What’s on Offer

• Salary: Negotiable (depending on experience)
• Hours: 37.5 per week, Monday–Friday
• Location: Leatherhead (hybrid working available after training)
• 26 days holiday + bank holidays
• Company pension, free parking, and flexible working hours

To Apply

If you’re reliable, accurate, and want to be part of a small team where your work truly matters, we’d love to hear from you. Apply with your CV and a short note telling us why this sounds like the right fit for you
