Job Description

Accounts Assistant

Caterham Area

£35,000 - £45,000 + Benefits

Fletcher George are delighted to be representing a well-established, privately owned Group of Companies with an outstanding reputation across the building services sector.

Our client delivers prestigious projects throughout London and the South East, ranging from luxury residential developments to commercial and large scale high value projects. The business continues to grow whilst maintaining the professional and supportive culture which has been at the core of how they operate over many years.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Accounts Assistant to join a welcoming and professional finance team and to work in modern offices with private parking. The role is predominantly office based, allowing you to work closely with colleagues, although there is flexibility available when required.

Whilst the primary focus of the role is in maintaining the ledgers to include purchase ledger, supplier accounts, expenses, bank reconciliations and general finance administration, there is also the opportunity to become involved in payroll. Previous payroll experience would certainly be welcomed, however, candidates with a strong accounts background who are keen to develop payroll knowledge will receive support and training.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Head of Accounts, your responsibilities will include:

Processing supplier invoices accurately and efficiently.
	
Managing the purchase ledger and maintaining supplier accounts.
	
Reconciling supplier statements and resolving invoice queries.
	
Preparing supplier payment runs and issuing remittance advice.
	
Liaising with suppliers regarding payment schedules and account queries.
	
Supporting the finance team with bank reconciliations and general accounts administration.
	
Assisting with employee expenses and finance-related administration.
	
Quarterly Vat Returns 
	
Supporting the payroll process, including timesheet administration and payroll preparation.
	
Assisting with starters, leavers and payroll administration where required.
	
Supporting pension administration, statutory payments and payroll reporting.
	
Providing general finance support across the Group as required.

About You

We would be delighted to hear from candidates who enjoy working within a busy finance environment and who take pride in delivering accurate, high-quality work.

Ideally you will have:

Previous experience working as an Accounts Assistant or within a similar finance position.
	
Strong purchase ledger and supplier account experience.
	
Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills.
	
A confident and professional approach when dealing with suppliers and colleagues.
	
Good knowledge of Microsoft Excel and finance systems.
	
Previous payroll experience would be definitely advantageous although training and support can be provided for someone wishing to broaden their skills.
	
Experience within Construction, Property or Building Services would be beneficial, particularly knowledge of CIS although this is not essential.

What's in it for You?

Salary of £35,000 - £45,000, depending upon experience.
	
Modern offices with private parking.
	
Predominantly office based with ad hoc flexibility where appropriate.
	
Monday to Friday, 9.00am - 5.00pm, with flexibility to start and finish earlier if preferred.
	
The opportunity to join a financially robust and successful family-owned business.
	
A varied and interesting role where your contribution will be genuinely valued.
	
Supportive colleagues and a friendly working environment with excellent staff retention.
	
The opportunity to broaden your skills across both accounts and payroll within a successful Group of Companies.
