Candidates: Create an Account or Sign In
We’re seeking a dedicated Accounts Assistant to join a small and supportive finance team, working closely with Kevin, the Company Accountant, who has been with the business for over 17 years. This opportunity has arisen due to the retirement of a long-standing team member, making this a great chance to step into a well-established and respected role. You’ll have your own office and play a key part in the smooth running of the finance function.
The business has recently transitioned from manufacturing to a distribution-based operation. While this shift has reduced the volume of invoicing, it has increased the importance of accurate and proactive credit control — particularly as the company continues to grow its customer base.
Key Responsibilities:
*
Managing aged debt (60/90 days) and building strong customer relationships
*
Conducting credit checks and onboarding new clients
*
Processing purchase invoices and maintaining the purchase ledger
*
Reconciling petty cash and credit card statements
*
Completing daily cash postings and bank reconciliations
*
Preparing supplier payment runs
What We’re Looking For:
*
Proven experience in a similar accounts role
*
Ideally experienced with Sage 50
*
A confident and tactful communicator, especially when handling credit control
*
Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
*
A friendly, approachable personality with a positive attitude and sense of humour
This is an ideal role for someone looking to join a stable and friendly business with a long-serving team and a supportive working environment.
