Accounts Assistant - Full or Part-Time (minimum 2 days per week)

This is an immediate-start temporary position, with a genuine opportunity to become permanent for the right person.

If you're looking for a varied accounts role where you can put your transactional finance experience to good use, this could be a great opportunity.

What's in it for you?

Salary of up to £30,000 FTE, pro rata for part-time hours
Flexible working pattern from 2 days per week
Potential to become permanent
A varied role with responsibility for the day-to-day accounts

What will you be doing?

You'll help keep the finance function running smoothly, including:

Maintaining purchase and sales ledgers
Credit control and chasing outstanding payments
Completing bank reconciliations
Managing the accounts inbox and responding to queries
Liaising with customers and suppliers
Keeping financial records accurate and up to date
Supporting with general finance administration

What do you need?

You'll have previous experience within an accounts or finance team and be comfortable across transactional finance.

You'll also need to be organised, accurate and an excellent communicator, with the confidence to manage your own workload and deal with customers and suppliers.

Experience using Sage Intacct would be advantageous, although it isn't essential.
