The Opportunity

We're working with a highly respected, international business with a collaborative and fast-moving finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity for an Accounts Assistant who enjoys being part of a team, likes variety in their role, and wants long-term development rather than just a transactional job.

You'll join a friendly, supportive finance team of four, where everyone works closely together and supports each other. The business operates at pace, so this role suits someone organised, proactive and happy to roll their sleeves up.

This is an ideal step for someone with around 2+ years' accounts experience who is studying AAT (or about to start) and wants to build a solid career in finance.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a varied Accounts Assistant role covering both purchase ledger and credit control, giving you exposure across key finance processes:

• Processing supplier invoices and reconciling statements

• Managing multi-currency supplier payments (BACS and same-day payments)

• Setting up new supplier accounts and maintaining records

• Handling company credit card expenses and receipts

• Recharging intercompany costs and raising sales invoices

• Dealing with supplier queries by email and phone

On the credit control side:

• Posting and allocating customer payments

• Sending invoices and statements

• Chasing payments from both proforma and account customers

• Raising credit notes

• Handling customer queries professionally

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

• Studying AAT (or planning to start)

• Has at least 2 years' experience in an accounts/finance role

• Confident with purchase ledger and bank/payment processes

• Comfortable communicating with suppliers and customers

• Organised, accurate and detail-focused

• Outgoing, positive and enjoys being part of a team

• Happy working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a collaborative, supportive finance team

• Exposure across both sides of the ledger

• A business that values teamwork and communication

• Long-term career opportunities as the business continues to grow

• A role where you'll be trusted, involved and part of the team - not just processing in the background
