Accounts & Payroll Assistant

Your new company
I am working with a thriving manufacturing company based in Burnley who are now looking to appoint an experienced Accounts & Payroll Assistant to join their team on a permanent and full-time basis. This is a newly created role, following the acquisition of another business.
Your new role
As Accounts Assistant, you will report to the Finance Director and be responsible for supporting the team in the daily accounting tasks. Your role will involve processing up to 200 plus invoices per week, matching the invoices to the correct PO, generating sales invoices weekly and chasing any outstanding payments with existing customers. You will also manage the end to end payroll of the newly acquired business, consisting of 150 weekly paid employees and 80-100 monthly paid employees. This is a full end-to-end process, where you will collate all timesheets, make any adjustments and complete RTI submissions. You will be assisting the team with month-end duties such as cashbook reconciliation, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations.
What you'll need to succeed
To be successful for this role, you will be AAT qualified (or qualified by experience) and have worked in a similar role previously. Experience of working on Sage is essential, with the ability to use Excel to an intermediate level inclusive of vlookups. You must have experience processing an end to end payroll and be comfortable with Sage payroll.
What you'll get in return
In return for this, you will be offered a full-time salary of £25,000 - £30,000 per annum. Alongside this, your benefits package will include:
