Full job descriptionAssistant Accountant — Bicester | Permanent
Love numbers? Thrive on clean ledgers and tidy month-ends? This could be the role for you.
We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established and passionate business operating in the historic motorsport and classic car events sector — a company with a devoted global following and a growing finance function that needs a detail-driven pair of hands to keep things running smoothly.
If you’ve ever wanted your day job to have a bit more character than a standard finance role, this is a genuinely exciting environment to work in.
The Role
As Assistant Accountant, you’ll be the engine behind the day-to-day numbers — posting transactions, reconciling accounts, and supporting a clean, timely month-end close. You’ll work across a modern tech stack including Xero, Airwallex, Shopify, and HubSpot, handling everything from membership invoicing to international supplier payments.
What You’ll Be Doing
*Posting customer payments, instalments, and overpayments in Xero
*Updating cashflow spreadsheets and maintaining accurate income records
*Processing Shopify sales, refunds, and membership invoices
*Posting supplier invoices and direct-debit bills with correct VAT coding
*Managing Airwallex and Equals card expenses — ensuring receipts and classifications are complete
*Reconciling bank accounts, credit cards, and supplier balances monthly
*Supporting a smooth, timely month-end close with accurate reconciliations and documentation
What We’re Looking For
*Solid bookkeeping experience and a strong eye for detail
*Confidence navigating multiple finance systems simultaneously
*Someone organised, reliable, and proactive — you spot a discrepancy before anyone else does
*Experience with Xero is highly desirable
*A positive, team-minded attitude and the ability to work to deadlines
Why Apply?
This is a rare chance to join a niche, values-led business in a sector that attracts genuine enthusiasts — where your financial diligence directly supports world-class events and a passionate community. There’s real scope to grow as the finance function develops.
