Job description

Interim Accounts Receivable Assistant - Looe / Hybrid - £24-26,000 FTE

Trial Balance Consulting have been exclusively re-engaged by one of our longstanding clients,a well-established luxury hospitality focussed business. The company seeks to recruit an interim AR/Sales Ledger Assistant to join them as soon as possible. The role is initially offered as a 3 month fixed term contract to be operated on a full time basis. Applicants should reside within a reasonable occasional commuting distance of Looe but this contract can be completed on a largely remote basis if required.

Working as part of a friendly and experienced team, the successful candidate will enjoy a varied role with a core focus in the following areas:

• Creation and distribution of customer invoices
• Maintenance of all accounts receivable transactions
• Administration of payments received via multiple income streams
• Balance sheet reconciliations
• Assisting customers with invoice queries
• Assisting with credit control procedures where required

We’re looking for a candidate with strong experience gained in either an accounts receivable or payable environment, and with particular attention to accuracy and timely creation and processing of invoices and customer statements. This is a particularly busy function within the business where no two days are likely to be the same, so a sound understanding of the AR lifecycle would be highly advantageous. Previous aged debtor management experience is desirable but not essential. The company utilises a bespoke digital accounting platform where full training will be provided, but a good general IT aptitude will be essential. Whilst a part/full AAT qualification would be advantageous, on this occasion we are more focussed on experience in a similar role. This is animmediately vacant opportunity and we are keen to submit suitable applicants as soon as possible.
