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.

- Assisting with Purchase Ledger, Bank Reconciliations, Supplier Account Reconciliations.
