As an Accounts Assistant, you’ll spend around half your time supporting AP, with the rest giving you exposure to VAT returns, bank and balance sheet reconciliations, month-end and accounting across multiple UK entities.

What you will need:
*Previous experience in a similar role, such as Accounts Assistant, Finance Assistant, Assistant Accountant or Accounts Payable Assistant
*Strong hands-on accounts payable experience and a good understanding of debits and credits
*Experience of reconciliations, purchase orders and three-way matching
*AAT studies, ideally towards the latter stages, alongside practical accounting experience
*Good Excel skills, including VLOOKUPs and pivot tables
