Working alongside the Credit Controller and reporting to the Managing Director, the Accounts Assistant / Bookkeeper will be responsible for a variety of day-to-day finance tasks from accounts receivable and payable, to reconciliations and VAT and Tax calculations.

To be successful in the role of Accounts Assistant, you will have some previous experience working in a professional finance, accounts or bookkeeping role. Ideally you will have your AAT Level 2, but those with relevant experience will be considered without this. Knowledge of account software packages is useful (my client uses Sage & Kashflow) as well as a good understanding of VAT and CIS regulations. This role would suit someone who has worked as a Finance Assistant, Bookkeeper, Accounts Assistant or Accounts Administrator.
