Full job descriptionAccounts Assistant (6-Month Contract)
We are recruiting an Accounts Assistant for a 6-month contract within a fast-paced office environment. This role requires someone who can start at short notice and is comfortable stepping into a hands-on, varied position from day one.
This is a split role. Alongside core finance responsibilities, you will also take responsibility for front-of-house duties. That means meeting visitors, handling calls and being the first point of contact when needed. If you’re looking for a purely accounts-focused role, this won’t be the right fit.
The Role
You’ll work closely with the Management Accountant, supporting day-to-day finance operations while also helping keep the wider office running smoothly. It’s a practical role where you’ll be expected to get involved, manage your own workload and switch between tasks as priorities change.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Processing purchase ledger invoices and maintaining accurate records

• Supporting payment runs, expenses and supplier queries

• Carrying out reconciliations and assisting with month-end tasks

• Raising purchase orders and maintaining supplier accounts

• Assisting with journals and general finance administration

• Supporting credit control when required

• Handling general office admin (bookings, supplies, ad hoc support)

• Providing reception cover – meeting visitors, answering calls and managing post
What We’re Looking For
• Previous experience in an accounts or finance role is essential

• Comfortable using accounting systems and Excel

• Able to pick things up quickly and work with minimal supervision

• Organised, accurate and able to manage competing priorities

• Confident dealing with people both internally and externally

• Willing to take on reception and administrative duties as part of the role
The Detail
• 6-month contract

• Immediate start or short notice required

• Office-based role
