Think Accountancy & Finance are working with a passionate, fast-paced business in Ampthill that's on the lookout for an enthusiastic Accounts Assistant to not only join their friendly team but be willing to really get involved within the business.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has experience in AP and AR but also understands double entry bookkeeping. This role is fast paced, and you should be comfortable switching tasks within a varied role.
You'll be working across both purchase (40%) and sales ledger (60%) as well as supporting key finance functions, so if you're looking for exposure, responsibility and a chance to make an impact, this could be the perfect next step.
What you'll be doing:
Supporting accounts receivable: onboarding customers, credit checks, cash allocation, raising credit/debit notes and sending statements
Helping with accounts payable: invoice entry, PO matching, approvals, supplier queries and reconciliations
Assisting with payment runs and online banking
Weekly bank reconciliations and cashbook updates
Uploading sales invoices to customer portals
Month-end tasks including journals, balance sheet recs and reporting
Pitching in with finance projects and general admin
What we're looking for:
Ideally studying AAT Level 3 or 4 (or similar experience)
Experience working in a finance team with exposure to AP or AR (or both!)
Strong Excel skills and happy working with less automated systems
Someone detail-focused and proactive - you'll spot issues and solve them before they become problems
A confident communicator who enjoys being part of a team
Most importantly, someone positive, hands-on and keen to grow
Why this role?
You'll be joining a close-knit finance team in a business that values its people. It's a great environment to learn, take ownership, and get involved in all aspects of transactional finance.
If you're looking to build your career in finance and can start quickly, we'd love to hear from you.
