Accounts Assistant - AAT Qualified

You've done the study, passed the exams, and got the AAT qualification to prove it.

Now you want a job that values all that effort but doesn't bury you under red tape, office politics, or beige job ads written by someone who thinks "dynamic team player" means anything.

This is a permanent, full-time Accounts Assistant role with a business based in East Leeds. They support large-scale projects across the UK and Europe, but no, it's not an agency or a faceless corporate. It's a hands-on, straight-talking company where finance is critical to making things happen, somewhere your role will actually matter.

You'll be reporting into the Finance Manager, but you'll also work closely with procurement and operations, so expect a bit of variety.

What you'll be doing:

• Maintaining the purchase ledger
• Managing the fixed asset register
• Processing supplier payments
• Raising and sending out sales invoices
• Chasing outstanding payments (with tact, not threats)
• Resolving supplier invoice queries
• Reconciling bank and credit card transactions
• Updating and maintaining internal spreadsheets
• Entering journals
• Supporting month-end processes and management accounts
• Lending a hand to the Finance and Procurement Managers as needed

What you'll need:

• AAT qualification (this one's non-negotiable)
• Previous experience in an accounts role
• Solid understanding of VAT
• Experience with Sage 50 (or the ability to pick it up quickly)
• Strong Excel and general IT skills
• Attention to detail and the ability to manage your own time
• A sense of humour wouldn't hurt either

What's in it for you:

• £28,000-£30,000 salary
• 21 days holiday + bank holidays (plus an extra day each year you stick around)

No assessments. No cover letter required. Just apply if you're AAT qualified and this sounds like a place you'd actually want to turn up to on a Monday morning.
