Job description

Accounts Assistant

North Leicestershire Immediate Start 3 to 6 Month Temporary Contract

Five Days Onsite Temporary Assignment

Blusource Recruitment is working with an established business in North Leicestershire that is looking to bring an experienced Accounts & Reconciliations Assistant into its finance team on an urgent temporary basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in transactional finance who is immediately available and looking for their next assignment.

The contract is expected to last between three and six months, and the business is keen to get someone started as soon as possible.

You’ll be joining a busy finance function and providing practical, hands‑on support across a range of accounting and administrative responsibilities.

Your duties will include:

• Processing and entering supplier invoices
• Responding to finance-related emails and queries
• Processing payments and supporting day-to-day transactions
• Assisting with accounts and reconciliation activities
• Maintaining accurate records and documentation
• Filing, archiving and general finance administration
• Supporting the wider finance team wherever required

We’re looking for someone who has previous experience working within an accounts or transactional finance position and can quickly become a useful member of the team.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Previous experience in accounts payable, accounts administration or a similar finance position
• Good working knowledge of Excel, ideally to an intermediate level
• Experience using accounting or finance software
• Strong attention to detail and good organisational skills
• A flexible attitude towards a varied workload
• The confidence to learn new systems and processes quickly

You don’t need to be a qualified accountant, but you will need enough previous finance experience to pick things up without extensive training.

This is an opportunity to join an established business with an immediate requirement for additional finance support.

The assignment is expected to run for three to six months and would suit someone who enjoys hands‑on accounts work, can adapt quickly and is happy supporting a busy finance team.

Please note that this position is based onsite in North Leicestershire, five days per week, and applicants must be available to start immediately.
