Your new company

Hays are delighted to be working exclusively with a successful, fast‑paced business based in Worcestershire. Due to continued growth, they are looking to add an Accounts Assistant to their friendly and high‑performing finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership, thrives in a busy environment and wants to develop their finance career.


Your new role

You will take ownership of a defined area of the Purchase Ledger while supporting the wider finance function. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Accurately coding and processing a high volume of purchase ledger invoices

  • Managing foreign payment runs
  • Performing daily ticket sales reconciliations
  • Responding to supplier queries in a professional and timely manner
  • Providing general support to the wider finance team
  • Covering colleagues during periods of holiday or absence
This role offers genuine responsibility and the chance to build strong relationships across the business.

What you'll need to succeed

You will already have experience working within a Purchase Ledger or Accounts Assistant role and be confident managing your own workload. You’ll also bring:
  • Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to meet deadlines
  • Confidence working independently as well as part of a team
  • Good IT skills, particularly Excel
  • The ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment

What you'll get in return

In return, you’ll join a supportive and collaborative finance team within a growing and successful business. The company offers:
  • A positive, friendly working environment
  • The opportunity to really make the role your own
  • AAT study support if you wish to continue your professional development (not a requirement)
  • A stable role with long‑term career potential
Whether you’re actively studying or simply looking to build experience, this is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in finance.
