This isnโ€™t a โ€œdynamic opportunity in a fast-paced environmentโ€ (althoughโ€ฆ it is fast-paced).

This is a solid Accounts Assistant role for someone who knows their way around numbers, likes things done properly, and doesnโ€™t need hand-holding to get there.

Youโ€™ll be joining a well-established business that delivers complex projects on tight deadlines across the UK and Europe. Behind the scenes, finance is what keeps everything moving, and thatโ€™s where you come in.

The role (what you’ll actually be doing):

Youโ€™ll be the right hand of the Finance Manager, keeping the day-to-day admin tight, accurate, and on time. That includes:

  • Maintaining the purchase ledger
  • Processing supplier payments
  • Raising sales invoices
  • Chasing customers (politely but firmly) for payment
  • Spotting and fixing discrepancies before they become problems
  • Updating internal spreadsheets
  • Reconciling credit card transactions
  • Supporting the Procurement and Finance Managers when needed

There are deadlines, there are ad-hoc requests, and there are busy periods.

What they’re looking for:

You donโ€™t need to be flashy, but you do need to be reliable, switched on, and comfortable taking ownership of your work.

  • The ability to prioritise, manage your own workload, and hit deadlines
  • Confidence working independently and as part of a team
  • A can-do attitude matters more than a perfect CV

What you get in return:

  • An annual salary of up to ยฃ28k
  • 21 days annual leave (rising with service) + bank holidays
  • Casual dress code
  • On-site parking
  • Flexibility where required

No gimmicks, just a decent role, in a stable business, with people who value pulling their weight and doing things properly.
