Assistant Accountant | £35,000 + benefits | Harewood, Leeds
The Opportunity
Vibrant, modern and ambitious owner-led SME have an opportunity for a diligent and enthusiastic Assistant Accountant (full time or perhaps 4 days per week).
You’ll be number 2 to the Financial Controller for the business – supporting with all areas of transactional finance for the group (AP, sales ledger and credit control, payroll and expenses, reconciliations, month end reporting etc)
It’s a fast paced small growing company (15 permanent employees currently) and you’ll play a vital role. As the business continues to expand and your knowledge and understanding develops you will have chance to broaden your skill set.
It’s a really welcoming and collaborative team, you’ll be working for an approachable and highly experienced FC and an infectiously enthusiastic and driven MD/owner.
You’ll enjoy plenty of autonomy and a sensible work life balance. The role is busy and there is plenty to do but there is no expectation of overtime / out of hours working. In fact the role could fit around school drop offs / pick ups / other commitments if someone was looking for reduced hours.
You will ideally have previous experience of purchase ledger / sales ledger / general month end accounting tasks (from either an accounting firm or another small professional business).
You will be a conscientious and methodical Assistant Accountant / Finance Assistant / Bookkeeper. Someone who takes pride in their accuracy and natural attention to detail.
You’ll have solid IT skills and ideally previous experience of Sage software.
It’s a role for someone who will enjoy making a difference to an aspirational growing business in a varied transactional accounting position.
Required:
- Previous experience of core transactional accounting (ledger duties, reconciliations etc)
- A positive attitude to solving new problems and picking up new tasks.
- Good understanding of Excel / general IT skills.
- Ability to work with autonomy and naturally well organised.
- Professionalism, common sense and ideally a great sense of humour!
