Blackburn, United Kingdom Alufold Direct Ltd Full time

This role is a very important part of the Credit Management function and wider Accounts Team. A large part of the role involves ensuring all customers pay to terms, and cashflow within the company is always at a potential maximum.

The Accounts Assistant will be responsible for a wide variety of Finance tasks including, but not limited to, taking payments via virtual terminals for deposits and balance payments, raising prompt and accurate invoices and pro-formas for clients, and managing a small collection of trade credit clients. The accurate posting and allocation of customer payments, resulting in accounts being as up to date as possible, is imperative to aid collections.

Accessing the bank statements and identifying receipts will go hand in hand with posting of payments. This role will also provide cover for other staff members within the accounts team, working on despatch notes for the following day, to ensure all orders are paid for and as many deliveries as possible take place the following day.

The Accounts Assistant will also have the opportunity to get involved with other accounts tasks such as purchase ledger, bank reconciliations, analysis and other accounting activities. Providing support and assistance to the Accounts Receivable Manager and Financial Controller will also be essential in this role.

Due to the nature of the business, other ad-hoc tasks will need to be performed as part of this role, so it will require flexibility and a positive “can-do” attitude.

**Main Responsibilities**
- Taking payments via virtual terminal and posting of these payments to Sage.
- Allocating payments that have been taken by card and made into the bank.
- Daily raising of invoices/pro-formas for deliveries so that all payments not already made can be taken the day before delivery is due.
- Managing a small section of trade/credit account clients, to ensure accounts are all up to date and paid on time.
- Dealing with customer queries on invoices, delivery queries and all other enquiries.
- Responsible for chasing clients for 25% deposit payments, managing these clients so they are all chased daily, and the customer pays and commits to the orders.
- Assisting with Purchase Ledger, Bank Reconciliations, Supplier Account Reconciliations.
- Assisting the Financial Controller with Month End and other Accounting tasks as required.
- Providing cover for other members of staff in times of absence, as it is a small tight knit team.

**Knowledge, Skills & Experience**
- Previous experience of working in a similar role
- Good knowledge of Microsoft office, in particular the use of excel and spreadsheets, which is central to the role
- Excellent communication skills
- Be able to work under pressure and to tight deadlines
- Previous experience of Sage 50 would be preferable, but not essential, as full training will be given
