Your new company
A growing mid-sized business based near Diss are seeking an organised and technically confident Accounts Assistant on a fixed-term 6-month contract. The company offers a fast-paced finance function, modern accounting systems and close support from a small finance team. This role is ideal for an experienced ledger specialist looking for interim work that will make an immediate impact.
Your new role
You will be part of the finance team and assist with the sales ledger cycle, including invoicing, credit control, cash posting and aged debtor reporting, while also handling the full purchase ledger cycle from supplier invoice processing and match-coding to payment runs and supplier reconciliations. You will also prepare daily and weekly cash allocations and bank postings, perform bank and monthly statement reconciliations for multiple accounts, reconcile supplier and customer statements as well as resolve any outstanding items.
Depending on your experience, you will also assist with month-end close tasks such as accruals, prepayments, ledger investigations and other ad-hoc duties.
What you'll need to succeed
You will have proven experience in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable roles within a finance team, along with strong expertise in bank and statement reconciliations, as well as a solid working knowledge of double-entry bookkeeping and month-end routines. We expect you to be proficient with accounting software such as Sage, Xero, QuickBooks or SAP and confident in Excel to investigate any finance data.
As explained, this is a 6-month temporary finance / accounts assistant job and I am keen to talk to individuals who can give commitment to the role and use their initiative working in a fast-paced business.
What you'll get in return
The organisation offers a competitive benefit package with a salary of circa £25,000 - £28,000, depending on experience.
