You know when a business starts slipping behind on the month-end close and someone says, “We just need someone who can hit the ground running”?

This is that moment.

ยฃ35,000 on offer. Based on-site, with the potential to go temp-to-perm if youโ€™re the right fit.

Theyโ€™re not precious about qualifications right now, but if it goes permanent, having (or working towards) AAT, CIMA or ACCA would put you in a stronger position.

Youโ€™ll be stepping in to support a stretched finance team with the month-end process. That means owning reconciliations across spreadsheets, fuel and repair costs, and getting a grip on the haulage revenue side of things.

If youโ€™ve handled vehicle charging, or know your way around assigning costs per asset, thatโ€™s a big plus. Same goes for accruals and prepayments. If you can calculate them, brilliant. If youโ€™ve only input them, thatโ€™ll still do the job.

The assistant accountant role will give you immediate responsibility and visibility. Youโ€™ll get the lay of the land fast and take pressure off a team that really needs it.

Thereโ€™s no rigid box-ticking here. They want someone whoโ€™s sharp, switched-on, and can start making a difference without hand-holding.

The kind of person who sees a messy spreadsheet and sorts it before being asked.

The assistant accountant role could turn permanent if you want it to. And if youโ€™ve got ambitions to grow your career in a gritty, fast-paced business, thereโ€™s plenty of opportunity here.
