Job description

Assistant Accountant - 12 month fixed term contract

I'm looking for a detail-oriented and experienced Assistant Accountant to support on a fixed term basis for 12 months.

This role is working 3 days on site, 2 from home (after an initial training period) and would suit someone who is available at short notice - although those on a notice can still be considered.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Process finance documents (payments, reimbursements, purchase requisitions, purchase orders etc)
  2. Monitor and report on company credit card usage
  3. Fixed asset register maintenance
  4. Financial analysis, reporting and audit
  5. Perform bank and balance sheet reconciliations.
  6. Assist with month-end tasks: prepayments, depreciation, accruals, balance sheet adjustments, and general ledger review.

You will need to have worked in a similar role and have recent, practical experience of the above responsibilities.

In addition to your finance experience, you will need to be confident in working at an intermediate/advanced level on Excel, including pivot tables and v-lookups, and preferably have worked with SAP previously.

This is a busy, fast paced role working within a small, close knit finance team.

If you are open to considering a fixed term contract and can commit to it for 12 months, I'd love to hear from you!

Salary: up to £40,000 (depending on experience)
Working set up: Hybrid - 3 days in office, 2 WFH days (after training period)
Location: West Cambridge - plenty of free on site parking and easily accessible by bus.
