Your new company

A forward-thinking and dynamic company which is experiencing a period of growth, is operating on a global customer basis and looking to expand its teams.

Your new role

Working closely with the Finance Manager, your initial duties will be focused on the accounts payable, introducing more robust procedures over the coming months. Every day you will be hands-on processing invoices, liaising with suppliers, reconciling statements and assisting with payment runs. Once the efficiencies have been made, you will begin to move to assisting with the management accounts; bank reconciliation, general ledger, journals, accruals/prepayments, VAT and reporting. There will also be ad-hoc office duties assisting colleagues when necessary.

What you'll need to succeed

You will have already started your accounting career in an accounts payable position, where you will have developed a strong skill set from processing invoices through to payment runs. Exposure to VAT and bank reconciliation is an advantage, alongside working on an accounting software package like Sage. Strong Excel is required with experience of using Pivot Tables and V-Look ups. As this is a small team, you will be required to assist colleagues outside your main duties. Therefore, a flexible, can-do attitude with a strong sense of teamwork is essential.

What you'll get in return

This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic, expanding company, particularly if you enjoy working in a varied role within a small team. This is a progressive position which will move you into an Assistant Accountant position, enhancing your skill set further. In return, you will receive 25 holidays, contributory pension, on-site parking and an earlier finish on a Friday.
