Full Time, 12 Month Maternity Cover

Own Transport required 

Are you an organised Accounts Assistant who enjoys keeping financial processes running smoothly? Do you thrive in a fast paced environment where accuracy and attention to detail really matter?

We are looking for an Accounts Assistant to join an established finance team on a 12 month maternity cover contract. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with sales ledger or finance administration experience who is looking to join a supportive business and develop their skills within a varied role.

No two days are the same. You'll become a key member of the finance team, working closely with colleagues across the business to ensure customer accounts, invoicing, payments and reconciliations are processed accurately and on time. Alongside your day to day responsibilities, you'll have the opportunity to get involved in wider finance activities and support the team during busy periods.

What you'll be doing

• Managing the sales invoicing process and ensuring customer accounts remain accurate
• Processing customer payments, direct debits and cash allocations
• Completing daily and monthly reconciliations and maintaining financial records
• Supporting month end activities and preparing information for year end audits
• Managing internal finance administration including company mobile phone and fuel card accounts
• Working with internal departments to resolve queries and maintain efficient financial processes
• Providing support across the finance office and assisting with additional administrative tasks when required

What we're looking for

You'll be someone who enjoys working with numbers, has a methodical approach and takes pride in producing accurate work.

Ideally you'll have:

• Previous experience as an Accounts Assistant, Finance Assistant, Sales Ledger Clerk or Accounts Administrator
• Experience working within a finance office or accounts environment
• Strong Microsoft Excel and computer skills
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• A high level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Confidence communicating with colleagues and customers
• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team

Experience within a manufacturing environment would be beneficial but is not essential.

What's in it for you?

• Salary of £29,000 to £32,000 per annum
• Full time 12 month maternity cover contract
• A welcoming and collaborative finance team
• A varied role with plenty of responsibility
• The opportunity to broaden your accounts experience within a well established business

If you're looking for your next Accounts Assistant or Finance Assistant opportunity and want to join a business where your contribution will make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
