Accounts Assistant

Most finance job ads start with clichés about "dynamic environments" and "exciting opportunities." This one's different. It's part-time. It's flexible. And it's aimed at someone who just wants to do proper accounts work without the fluff - a good Accounts Assistant.

You won't be "strategising."
You won't be "revolutionising the finance function."
You'll just be doing the kind of solid, dependable work that keeps a business ticking.

Here's the deal:

A mid-sized company (not a corporate monster, not a bedroom startup) is looking for an Accounts Assistant to come in and own the Purchase Ledger, dabble in the Sales Ledger, and generally keep the numbers honest. It's a hybrid role - partly remote, partly office-based, ideally, you'll work mornings, but can be flexible.

You'll be processing invoices, reconciling statements, doing bank recs, helping with month-ends, and keeping an eye on the inbox. Basically, if it lives in Sage50 or a spreadsheet, you'll be involved.

What you'll need:

  • At least two years of Purchase Ledger experience (ideally more).
  • A love-hate relationship with Excel (you'll be using it a lot).
  • A working brain and a low tolerance for nonsense.
  • Confidence to talk to people without getting the sweats.

Nice to have (but not essential):

  • US accounts experience.
  • The ability to spot an error at 20 paces.
  • A knack for getting things done without being micromanaged.

In return, you'll get:

  • An annual salary of £28k (full time equivalent), which works out around £16,700.
  • A proper salary (none of that "competitive" nonsense - we'll pay what you're worth).
  • 25 days holiday (pro rata) + bank hols + your birthday off.
  • Medical cover, pension, EAP, and a few modern perks like cycle schemes and early Friday finishes.

If you want to be part of a team where common sense still exists and people say "thank you" now and again, this could be for you.
