Job description

Accounts Assistant - Okehampton - £24-26,000

Trial Balance Consulting have been reengaged by one of our longstanding clients, a long established hospitality focussed business set in a beautiful location on the outskirts of Okehampton. As a result of a restructure of the accounting function, a new opportunity has arisen for a Finance Assistant to join the company’s friendly accounting function. The role is offered as a full time and permanent contract.

Working closely as part of a small team and reporting to a highly experienced Financial Controller, this will be a broad role that would be well suited to a candidate looking to expand on their skills and experience in a highly supportive environment. Key focus of the role:

1. Day-to-day administration of the accounts payable function
2. Setting up new suppliers
3. Maintenance and administration of the accounts receivable function
4. Administration of supplier credit notes
5. Reconciliation of purchase ledger invoices
6. Preparing supplier payment runs
7. General ledger analysis
8. Data extraction and analysis
9. Other ad-hoc finance tasks and assisting with accounting projects
10. Assist with month-end procedures and ongoing accounting projects

For this role we’re seeking a candidate who possesses at least 12 months of experience gained within a similar environment, either part/fully AAT or qualified by experience. The business is an advocate of modern accounting systems and runs a largely paperless office so candidates should possess a solid understanding of cloud-based systems with the aptitude to pick up new ERPs. The business also uses MS Excel which links to a bespoke system, so a good working knowledge of spreadsheet manipulation would be highly desirable.

This is an urgent, immediately vacant opportunity and our client is keen to appoint as soon as possible. The role offers a range of additional benefits to include a free lunch each day and heavily discounted use of facilities.
