Assistant Accountant, North Wolverhampton, £30k

Your new company

Hays are proud to be working exclusively with a highly successful and growing business based in North Wolverhampton. Due to continued expansion, they are now seeking an ambitious Accounts Assistant / Assistant Accountant to join their friendly and supportive finance team.


Your new role

Keeping Revenue on Track:
You’ll play a key role in managing the invoicing cycle and ensuring work in progress (WIP) is monitored accurately. Working closely with the customer service team, you’ll review weekly activity, help maintain consistent revenue levels, and prepare batches of invoices ready for submission to the company’s invoice finance provider.

Supporting Month-End and Financial Reporting:
You’ll take ownership of the day‑to‑day accounting entries in Sage, ensuring the ledgers are maintained up to trial balance. Typical tasks include bank reconciliations, posting accruals and prepayments, handling depreciation and capitalisation entries, and processing interest or bank charges. As the business grows, there is real scope for this position to evolve into a Finance Manager role—with full support and development provided.

Managing Engineer Expenses & Allowances:
With a large number of engineers, you’ll help keep expense processes running smoothly. This includes logging submitted receipts into a spreadsheet, preparing pivot‑table summaries for reimbursement, and managing weekly overnight allowances. You’ll reconcile advances against actual stays, and where necessary, prepare a monthly deductions schedule for payroll.

Being Part of a Supportive Finance Team:
As part of a small, collaborative accounts team, you’ll have the opportunity to build a broad skill set. Everyone is encouraged to understand each other’s responsibilities to provide seamless cover during busy periods or holidays.


What you'll need to succeed

We’re looking for someone who is confident, organised, able to communicate clearly and work with accuracy and attention to detail.
You should have good accounting experience, be confident in managing your workload to meet deadlines, and collaborating well with others while also being capable of working independently when needed.
  • Solid experience using accounting software, ideally Sage
  • Strong numerical and analytical skills
  • A methodical approach with excellent attention to detail
  • Confident problem‑solving abilities
  • Good administrative and organisational capabilities
  • Competent IT skills, including spreadsheets, databases, and general computer applications
  • Ability to work to deadlines, both independently and as part of a team


What you'll get in return

This position offers an excellent step forward for someone looking to progress their accounting career. You’ll be joining a supportive and encouraging business that values development and offers genuine opportunities for growth. It’s a chance to build on your existing skills, take on broader responsibilities, and move confidently up the accounting career ladder.
