Assistant Accountant

Feel like your finance skills are being wasted on the mundane?

This assistant accountant role isn't about clock-watching or doing the same thing every day. It's about stepping into a busy, multinational business and being the one who keeps things ticking over while the core team focuses on big system changes.

You'll be covering a 6-12 month temp role (open to day rate or FTC), working with a lean but high-performing UK finance team. They need someone who can hit the ground running. That means no hand-holding, no long onboarding - just real work from day one.

The hybrid setup offers up to 2 days a week from home, but most of the team are in the office, so you'll never feel like you're out on a limb.

Here's what's in it for you:

• Day rate or fixed-term contract - they'll flex for the right person
• Hybrid working - max 2 days WFH
• A genuinely interesting international business - operating across 23 countries
• Real impact - your work frees up the team to drive system improvements
• No qualification needed - it's your experience that counts here

You'll own the numbers when it comes to prepayments, accruals and expenses. The transactional work is handled by a central team overseas, so your job is to make sense of the data they send, checking it all stacks up.

It's also about taking control of tax, compliance, and the wider bookkeeping responsibilities - making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

You'll need to be confident working through data sets, spotting anomalies, and getting comfortable with their ERP quickly. This isn't a manufacturing behemoth - it's a service-based business, so the complexity comes from its multinational setup, not its operations.

If you've worked in assistant accountant roles where you've had to figure things out for yourself, work across entities, and keep the wheels turning in a fast-moving team, this could be ideal.
