- Ensure that statutory reporting deadlines are met

- Bank reconciliations

- Produce cash flow statements and general forecasts

- Maintenance of the fixed asset register

- Balance sheet reconciliation

- Assume a lead role in VAT reporting

- Posting accruals and prepayments

- Assist the wider finance team as and when required

For this role we seek a motivated and career driven Assistant/Financial Accountant with at least two years of recently gained experience in a similar capacity, or moving from practice to industry. Candidates may be part/fully AAT/professionally qualified or suitably qualified through vocational experience. The company is keen to implement digital system improvements so good IT aptitude and excellent MS Excel skills essential. This is a highly visible role that works with an energetic team and liaises with colleagues throughout the business so excellent communication/interpersonal skills required.

The successful candidate will benefit from a well-supported and developing role with a company that can boast excellent staff retention and superb financial/non-financial benefits (fantastic offices and a great range of social events etc.).
