Full job descriptionAssistant Accountant
London | Hybrid | 6 Month FTC | £35,000 - £45,000 | Fast Growing Healthcare Business
This business has grown quickly.
And like a lot of scaling businesses, operational complexity has increased faster than the systems and processes underneath it.
That’s exactly why they’re hiring.
This is not a role for someone who wants perfectly polished processes and a quiet finance function. It’s for someone hands on, organised and proactive who enjoys getting stuck in and helping bring structure to a growing business.
There’s a lot happening across inventory allocation, AP/AR workflows, invoice processing, stock reporting and operational finance support. At the moment, quite a lot of manual work still sits inside the process, so they need someone who is happy rolling their sleeves up and helping improve the day-to-day finance operation.
You’ll work closely with both finance and operations, supporting transactional accounting, finance administration and reporting across the business.
The environment is fast moving, collaborative and very SME in feel. Good people, growing business and plenty of exposure.
The Role
This is a broad Assistant Accountant role supporting the wider finance function during a busy growth period.
You’ll be involved across:
*Purchase ledger and invoice processing
*AP and AR support
*Supplier reconciliations
*Inventory and stock reporting
*Consignment stock tracking
*Matching inventory costs and sales activity
*Finance admin and operational support
*Supporting month-end processes
*Maintaining reporting accuracy across the finance function
*Helping improve finance processes and workflows
*Supporting wider systems and ERP improvement projects where needed
A big part of the role is helping the business create more structure and visibility as operational complexity continues to grow.
What They’re Looking For
*Previous experience in an Assistant Accountant or transactional finance role
*Comfortable working across AP, AR and finance operations
*Strong attention to detail
*Good Excel skills
*Someone hands on and proactive
*Comfortable in fast moving SME environments
*Organised and adaptable
*Experience in inventory, stock or product-led businesses would be beneficial
*Exposure to ERP systems or process improvement work would also help
The Bits People Care About
*6 month FTC
*£35,000 - £45,000
*Hybrid working - London
*Growing healthcare/pharma business
*Broad hands-on role with real exposure
*Collaborative team and good culture
*Opportunity to help improve processes inside a scaling business
