Job description

Stratford-upon-Avon Full-time, Office-based

Are you a meticulous number-cruncher who enjoys making the books balance and the spreadsheets sing? We’re working with a growing, design-led business based in Stratford-upon-Avon that’s looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their friendly finance team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy, and being a key part of the day-to-day financial operations of a busy and ambitious company.

What’s on offer for this Account Assistant role?

• A full-time, office-based role with a supportive and welcoming team
• Involvement in both UK and international transactions (yes, it’s global)
• Work in a business that’s stylish, successful, and seriously forward-thinking
• Plenty of scope to grow your skills and make your mark

The Account Assistant Role:

Working closely with the Finance Manager and senior leadership, your responsibilities will include:
• Inputting and processing purchase invoices
• Monthly purchase ledger reconciliation
• Supplier payments and bank reconciliations
• Preparing and sending sales statements
• Credit control – managing credit applications and chasing outstanding payments
• Posting daily receipts and payments
• Reconciling Stripe, PayPal and company credit cards
• Supporting with VAT returns and multi-currency cashflow forecasts

The Ideal Accounts Assistant Candidate:

You're someone who loves a bit of number wizardry, is calm under pressure, and doesn’t shy away from a little complexity. You’ll need:
• Minimum of 2 years’ experience in a finance/accounts role
• AAT Bookkeeping qualification (or working towards it)
• Solid experience with Sage (50 or 200)
• Confident Excel user (think formulas, not just formatting)
• A proactive, problem-solving attitude
Sound like you?
If you're looking to be part of a stable, friendly company where your work really matters, and where no two days are the same, we want to hear from you.
