Assistant Accountant – fixed term contract (Maternity Cover)📍 Burton in Kendal 💰 £38,000 per annum
We're currently working with a well-established, employee-owned business who are looking to recruit an Assistant Accountant on a fixed-term basis until Oct 2027 to cover maternity leave.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, wants real exposure across a finance function, and can hit the ground running in a busy but supportive team.
The Opportunity
You’ll be joining a small, collaborative accounts team and supporting across all areas of day-to-day finance. There’s a structured handover in place, so you’ll be set up for success from day one.
What you’ll be doing:
- Managing sales ledger processes – invoicing, reconciliations, queries
- Supporting purchase ledger – supplier invoices, reconciliations and payments
- Assisting with cashflow, bank reconciliations and postings
- Processing expenses and payments (including HMRC)
- Maintaining accurate financial records and spreadsheets
- Supporting with ad hoc finance, admin and admin tasks
What we’re looking for:
- Previous experience in an accounts/finance role
- AAT (Level 2/3) or similar – nice to have, not essential
- Strong Excel/Microsoft Office skills
- Someone reliable, organised and proactive
- Comfortable working on-site and as part of a close-knit team
What’s in it for you?
- Salary £38,000 per annum
- 35 hours per week, flexible hours, hybrid working available once you’re up to speed.
- Great exposure across a broad finance remit
- Stable, well-run business with a strong team culture
- Clear handover period – you won’t be thrown in at the deep end!
