About the Role

Are you looking for a role where you can make a real difference, take ownership, and grow alongside a supportive team? We're looking for a motivated and detail-focused Assistant Accountant to join our Group finance function. This is a role where you'll have the space to work independently, but also the support of a collaborative group team.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will take the lead on our UK Group treasury admin and cash management. Each day you'll dive into bank statements, posting and reconciling transactions, updating forecasts, and keeping our cashflow picture sharp and reliable. You'll be the one making sure we stay on track, from managing external loans and corporate cards to setting up supplier payments and working with our business units on FX predictions.

You'll also play a key part in group reporting. You'll support the Group Accountant with monthly consolidations, budgets, and forecasts. You'll dig into variances, prepare data for leadership, and bring insight that helps decision-making across the business.

Qualifications

This role suits someone currently part-qualified (ACCA/ACA/CIMA) who would like an opportunity to become qualified whilst working for us. You'll be the type of person who thrives on accuracy, takes accountability, and enjoys variety, one moment in treasury detail, the next shaping reporting for the wider group.

Benefits

Most of all, you'll be someone who enjoys building relationships across the business and takes pride in doing things well. If you're ready to take ownership, build your career, and make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and let's grow together.
