Hays Accountancy and Finance are working on an excellent opportunity with a well-established privately-owned company who are looking to recruit a temporary Finance assistant. The position will initially start on a temporary basis, but after 3 months has the potential to go permanent.

We are seeking an individual with honesty, discretion, and a positive, self-motivated attitude. You should have the ability to work both independently and collaboratively under pressure.

  • Performing cashbook and bank reconciliations.

Proficiency in accounting software, Microsoft Excel, and Word is required. Whilst experience in the construction industry, including reverse-charge VAT and the Construction Industry Scheme, is advantageous, it is not essential.
