NXTGEN have an immediate requirement for an Accounts Assistant to join a rapidly expanding and scaling tech company based in Cambridge. The role is initially offered on a Part Time basis (22.5 hours) which could be spread across 3 or 5 days. Working closely with the Finance Manager and CFO, you will take ownership for ledger maintenance and transactions, ensuring that all invoices are accurately coded and posted within the accounting system. The Accounts Assistant will also have oversight of the bank accounts, reviewing payments and transactions to ensure everything reconciles correctly. As the company continues to grow and develop new products, the volume of invoices and transactions is likely to increase as will the customer base. As a result, the Accounts Assistant can also expect to play a key role in maintain excellent customer relations with both suppliers and business customers.
Key responsibilities in the role will include:
- Process and post purchase invoices within the accounting system, matching to the appropriate PO number
- Raise weekly payment runs with the bank for approval by the CFO
- Reconcile bank accounts and statements to ensure accuracy
- Review all credit card payments and receipts as well as processing expenses as required
- Ad hoc support to the Finance Manager
This role is available for an immediate start given the speed with which the company is scaling, therefore candidates will ideally be available at short notice to interview and commence work. Whilst an AAT qualification would be desirable, candidates will ideally be able to demonstrate the experience working within a similar Accounts Assistant role. Foreign currency experience is also desirable but not essential. You will demonstrate good Excel skills and will be confident using pivot & V-Look Ups. Hybrid working is available with the role and there will be an expectation for the candidate to spend a good amount of the week in the office with the wider business and finance team.
