Up to £34,000 depending on experience plus study support

Do you have some exposure to areas of the month end process, such as accruals, prepayments or journals, and are you keen to build on this and develop further into a more well-rounded assistant management accounts position?

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to progress their finance career and gain experience in a busy and supportive environment. Whether you are already working as an Assistant Management Accountant or you are currently in a transactional finance role with some exposure to month end tasks and ready to step into a position that offers more responsibility in this area, this business can offer progression and development.

Reporting to the Management Accountant, you will be part of an experienced finance team, supporting with the production of management accounts whilst also carrying out transactional finance duties. Over time you will build valuable business partnering skills through regular contact with external stakeholders such as clients, banks and other key partners.

There is a real focus on development and progression, with a study support package available after probation for AAT, CIMA or ACCA. You will also enjoy a range of benefits including your birthday off, two volunteering days each year, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, regular team and company social events.

Typical responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with the preparation of monthly management accounts
• Producing and posting journals
• Completing month end recharges
• Prepayments and accruals
• Supporting with the purchase and sales invoicing processes and ensuring payments are reviewed
• Carrying out balance sheet and bank reconciliations
• Supporting with the preparation of monthly financial packs and acting as a key point of contact for finance queries
• Assisting with various transactional finance duties across the team
• Dealing with external stakeholders and explaining financial information to non-finance people

If you're motivated to learn, keen to build your technical skills, and want real responsibility early on, this role will give you the platform to do it. You'll be supported with training, a study package, and the chance to work closely with both finance and non-finance colleagues, building experience that will set you up for the next stage of your career. You must however be happy to carry out transactional finance duties as this is a split role.

This is a brilliant chance to join a team that will invest in your career and give you the support, training and opportunities to develop your skills and progress in the world of finance.
