Assistant Accountant
Permanent & Full time
Bridgend
£30-35,000 per annum

This is a fantastic role; hybrid and allowing you to work from home 2 or possibly 3 days a week! This role represents a superb opportunity to join a well-established but progressive company. Part of a small but highly efficient finance team, you will be providing support across areas of transactional accounting. This is a great company, who will support you in your career development..... they will consider study support for ACCA or CIMA.
Reporting to the Finance Manager, and responsible for accounts receivable, payable, VAT, Audit, month end and reporting duties for this fantastic, international business. Your role will see you taking ownership, displaying initiative and mentoring junior team members, ensuring that all duties are performed with flair, accuracy and in a timely manner! You will be business partnering with co-workers across the company, operations team members, sales, finance and admin people right through to director level........... So you will need to be a great communicator – confident, articulate and capable of interacting with people at all levels of the business, including non-finance personnel. You will be responsible for the following:
  • Prepare reconciliations for key control accounts, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank accounts, credit cards and petty cash.
  • Support the month-end process through the preparation of accruals, prepayments and journals.
  • Assist in producing monthly management information, reporting schedules and balance sheet notes.
  • Support the maintenance of the general ledger to Trial Balance level.
  • Support the preparation of budgets and financial reporting.
  • Assist with quarterly VAT returns and related reconciliations.
  • Ensure compliance with internal controls, company policies and financial regulations.
  • Support tax compliance activities and the preparation of statutory accounts.
  • Use and maintain the ERP finance system, ensuring accuracy, completeness and data integrity.
  • Assist with cashflow reporting, short-term forecasting and working capital review.
  • Raise and issue sales invoices and credit notes in line with agreed contract terms.
  • Manage credit control activities, including monitoring overdue debts, chasing payments and resolving customer queries.
  • Maintain debtor notes and produce aged debt reports.
  • Oversee the preparation of payment runs.
  • Manage petty cash processes.
  • Represent the Finance team at operational meetings and provide financial guidance to operational managers.

In order to be considered for this role, you will need significant experience in transactional finance..............with exposure to the more complex duties such as accruals, prepayments and journals....... in a fast-paced organisation. This is not an entry level role or clerking level role; you will have support from a junior team member, but that brings the challenge of delegation and mentoring. You will ideally have some formal training...... but if you are QBE, don't be deterred; this doesn't exclude you from application and interview.
A real eye for detail and accuracy are critical components of this role. If you would like to be considered, please apply by uploading an up-to-date CV. Call Emma Lewis on 01792 642 042 for further details.
