Job description

Location: London
Office requirement: Hybrid, 2-days per week
Employment type: Permanent

At GWI, we're always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now, we're looking for an Accounts Receivable Assistant to play a key role in our finance team in London. If that's you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As our Accounts Receivable Assistant, you'll support the accounts receivable function. You'll ensure timely and accurate billing and assist with credit control responsibilities, such as payment processing and customer account management. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with approximately one year of experience looking to further their career in finance and accounting. This dynamic role provides exposure to accounting policies and international tax regulations by managing our global clients through our UK and US entities. You will also support the annual audit and have the opportunity to review inefficiencies and process improvements to drive GWI's future growth.

This role involves preparing and issuing client invoices, managing the accounts receivable (AR) inbox to address billing inquiries, and ensuring accurate monitoring and reconciliation of customer accounts by resolving discrepancies. It includes supporting cash collection efforts through follow-ups on overdue invoices and accurately posting and reconciling payments and refunds. Additionally, the role requires collaboration with the finance team for month-end closing processes and participation in special projects and report preparation as needed.

It's also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you'll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. Here's what the team will be looking for:

• Proven experience in AR role, with a basic understanding of account receivable processes and finance principles
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, written and verbal
• Proactive attitude to work and problem-solving
• Exceptional attention to detail to be able to spot and resolve discrepancies quickly
• Tech proficiency to handle advanced billing systems and client portal plus working knowledge of Google Sheets and Excel

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they're a big part of what we're looking for in you.

Interview steps

What's in it for me?

You'll do the sort of work that got you excited about your career in the first place - not as a cog in a machine, but as an individual whose contribution matters. So gigantic job satisfaction comes as standard, but it's only part of the package. You'll also get:

• Tons of days off: 25 days annual leave | Xmas office closures
• More than a great salary: Employee share scheme | Health cash plan | 4% pension plan matching
• Great work-life balance: Flexitime | early Friday finishes | Work-from-anywhere options
• Family-focused flexibility: Carer days | Enhanced parental leave | Health cash plan for your family
• A commitment to YOU: Accredited learning programs | A commitment to mental and physical health | Reward and recognition programs | Career development opportunities
