Francesca’s Recruitment Ltd is recruiting on behalf of a small, friendly manufacturing business in Chesterfield. This hands‑on Company Accountant role is ideal for someone with up to five years’ experience who enjoys variety, takes pride in accuracy, and thrives in a close‑knit team where everyone supports each other.

This is a contract role with the potential to become permanent, offering stability, autonomy, and a genuinely welcoming working environment.

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of day‑to‑day financial operations across multiple small businesses within the group. This is a practical, processing‑focused role with plenty of variety — from reconciliations and VAT to import/export routines and supporting a systems transition.

Because this is a small business, you’ll also help with general office duties, including answering the phone and greeting visitors. It’s a role for someone who’s happy to get stuck in and be part of a supportive team.

Key Responsibilities

  * 

    Daily bank reconciliations and transaction posting

  * 

    Credit card statement reconciliation

  * 

    Purchase and sales ledger management

  * 

    Payroll spreadsheet preparation

  * 

    VAT returns and import VAT record maintenance

  * 

    Monthly journals and balance sheet reconciliations

  * 

    Fixed asset register maintenance

  * 

    Year‑end support and stock count postings

  * 

    SAP Business One transition support

  * 

    General office duties and admin cover

  * 

    Answering the phone and welcoming visitors

About You

  * 

    AAT qualified or at final study level

  * 

    Ideally from a practice background

  * 

    Up to five years’ accounting experience

  * 

    Strong Excel skills and excellent attention to detail

  * 

    Confident with processing tasks and import/export routines

  * 

    Organised, self‑motivated, and professional

  * 

    Happy working in a small team and supporting wider office tasks

  * 

    Available to start immediately

This role suits someone who enjoys a steady, well‑rounded workload and values being part of a friendly, collaborative environment. While progression is limited due to company size, the variety and autonomy make this a rewarding long‑term opportunity.

What’s On Offer

  * 

    Early finish every Friday

  * 

    Supportive, close‑knit team culture

  * 

    Exposure to multiple businesses and varied accounting tasks

  * 

    Involvement in system transitions and process improvements

  * 

    A stable, hands‑on role with real responsibility

  * 

    Contract position with potential to become permanent
