Job Description

The Opportunity

Are you looking for a finance role that offers more than just basic data entry? We are seeking an Accounting Assistant to join our stable, friendly, and down-to-earth finance team in Loughborough.

This isn't your typical rigid accounting role. You will have full ownership of the P&L and Balance Sheet for a small divisional entity, while also managing a small international Accounts Receivable ledger. If you enjoy a mix of technical accounting, management reporting, and "hands-on" transactional work, this is the perfect spot for you.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Ownership: Take full ownership of the P&L and Balance Sheet for a small divisional entity.

Month-End & Reporting: Ensure timely and accurate monthly close activities and prepare balance sheet reconciliations for general and sub-ledgers.

Management Systems: Utilises Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) systems (PLN 2.0, FDM, FDMEE) for high-level management reporting.

Accounts Receivable: Manage credit control and AR for a small portfolio of international customers.

Budgeting Support: Assist the Senior Finance Manager and UK Controller with the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) process.

Team Support: Collaborate with transnational colleagues on invoice processing and support the wider team (including our Heysham site) as needed.

Presentations: Help prepare financial schedules for monthly and quarterly business reviews.

Who You Are

We are looking for someone who is technically capable but also brings a positive, easy-going energy to the office.

Requirements:

Experience: 0-2 years of accounting or financial experience. Previous experience in AP or AR is required.

Education: High school diploma/GED required; an Associate's degree in Accounting or a related field is preferred.

Technical Skills: Proficient in MS Excel and PowerPoint. Experience with accounting software (especially Hyperion) is a huge plus.

Communication: Strong verbal and written skills with a sharp eye for detail.

The "Fit": We have a great team culture with plenty of "banter"-we're looking for someone proactive and independent who will fit right in with a laidback, non-rigid team structure.
