Are you a detail-oriented finance professional with strong Excel skills and a passion for accuracy? We are currently recruiting an Accounts Assistant to join a dynamic and collaborative accounts team at a growing organisation. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a varied role and enjoys taking ownership of the Accounts Receivable (AR) function while also contributing to wider finance tasks, including Accounts Payable and Credit Control.

As the Accounts Assistant, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring smooth financial operations across the sales ledger. Your responsibilities will include:

• Raising and issuing accurate sales invoices in a timely manner.

• Performing weekly credit control and managing aged debt effectively.

• Allocating incoming customer receipts against the correct accounts.

• Preparing and distributing monthly customer statements.

• Maintaining strong relationships with clients to resolve queries and ensure timely payments.

• Providing support to the Accounts Payable function during busy periods or as needed.

• Assisting with year-end audit preparation and documentation.

• Carrying out ad hoc financial analysis and reporting tasks as requested by management.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• Solid Excel skills – confident with formulas, lookups, and data manipulation.

• Experience using QuickBooks is preferred, but not essential.

• Strong attention to detail and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.

• Excellent communication skills – both written and verbal – to liaise effectively with customers and internal stakeholders.

• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a small, close-knit finance team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow their experience in finance within a supportive and professional environment. The business values collaboration, personal development, and a commitment to delivering high-quality financial services.
