Job description

At Convergence Group, we’ve spent the last 20+ years building a business driven by ambition, innovation, and exceptional people. Behind great connectivity is a great finance team - and we’re looking for an Accounts Assistant to join us and play an important part in keeping things running smoothly.

This isn’t a job where you’ll be stuck doing the same thing every day. You’ll get involved across accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, reconciliations and credit control, working closely with colleagues across the business to keep things accurate, moving and under control.

What It’s Really Like Here

The pace and intensity are higher than most environments in our sector. The workload is typically around 30% greater than many people will have experienced elsewhere - not because we are chaotic, but because we are ambitious and constantly building. We grow organically and through acquisition, continuously integrating, improving and raising the bar. The landscape evolves, priorities shift, and expectations rise. If you prefer a predictable, static environment, this probably won’t feel comfortable. If you are energised by growth, movement and high standards, it can be deeply rewarding.

Your strengths will have a bigger platform here - and you will be stretched behaviourally more than in most environments. We value respectful honesty: anyone can challenge an idea; hierarchy doesn’t protect thinking and getting it right matters more than being right. Ego doesn’t perform well here; curiosity, learning and ownership do. We hire people who are already strong at their craft - the stretch at Convergence Group is navigating pace, complexity and constant evolution. This environment isn’t for everyone, but for the right person it offers an exceptional opportunity for impact, growth and accelerated development.

What You’ll Be Doing As Our Accounts Assistant

• Processing purchase and sales invoices accurately and efficiently
• Supporting accounts payable, accounts receivable and billing
• Reconciling bank accounts, supplier statements and customer accounts
• Recording financial transactions and keeping accounting records accurate and up to date

• Helping with month-end and year-end processes, including journals, accruals and prepayments
• Dealing with finance queries from customers, suppliers and colleagues - and getting problems sorted
• Keeping financial documentation organised and audit-ready
• Providing support across the wider finance team when priorities change

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years’ experience working in an accounts department
• Experience working across areas such as AP, AR, billing, reconciliations or credit control
• Confidence speaking to customers, suppliers and internal teams to resolve issues
• Good attention to detail - getting the numbers right matters
• A practical, hands‑on approach and the ability to juggle competing priorities
• The resilience and confidence to speak up, ask questions and get things moving
• Experience in a busy SME or fast‑paced environment..

What You’ll Get

• Salary: £29,000 - £32,000
• Time off: 33 days holiday, including bank holidays (and yes, it gets better)
• Benefits: Private Medical, enhanced Pension, Income Protection & Life Assurance
• Hybrid working: with 3 days a week in the Solihull office & flexible core hours
• Dog friendly office - yes really!

Why Convergence Group?

We’re a privately owned business, which means we can move quickly, try new things and make decisions without layers of corporate red tape. We’re experts in WAN, LAN, Wi‑Fi and Security, helping businesses manage complex connectivity without the complexity.

We’re growing fast, and that means plenty of opportunity to get involved, make a difference and develop your career along the way. We want people who bring the right skills, attitude and drive - and who aren’t afraid to speak up, take ownership and get things done.
