Job Description

We are delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a successful family-run company in Stourport-on-Severn.

They are looking to appoint a new Senior Accounts Assistant / Accounts Manager to take ownership of the finance function.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced finance professional looking for a varied, hands-on role within a stable and growing business.

The Role

Working as part of a small finance team, you'll manage a varied workload and have the autonomy to organise your own day. The Directors are rarely on-site and trust their team to manage their responsibilities independently, meaning this role would suit someone who enjoys having ownership and responsibility.

  * Supplier payments

  * Purchase and sales invoicing

  * VAT returns

  * Accruals and prepayments

You will ideally have:

  * Previous bookkeeping experience

  * Experience processing payroll

  * Experience completing VAT returns

  * Strong knowledge of Sage 50 Accounts

  * Experience using Sage Payroll

This role does not require advanced Excel skills, cashflow forecasting, or producing management reports. The focus is on maintaining accurate accounts and managing the day-to-day finance operations.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone who is:

  * Self-motivated and reliable

  * Highly organised with excellent attention to detail

  * Comfortable working independently

  * A strong communicator

  * Happy taking ownership of the finance function

  * Looking for a long-term opportunity within a friendly business

The Team & Working Environment

You'll be joining a small and supportive finance team, with two other team members providing additional support.

Salary & Benefits

  * £32,000 salary

  * Annual performance bonus (typically around £6,000)

  * 28 days' holiday including bank holidays

  * On-site parking

  * Casual dress

  * Flexibility for personal appointments

  * Summer and Christmas social events

Why Join?

  * Stable, successful business with excellent staff retention

  * Genuine autonomy and trust from the Directors

  * Friendly, family-run culture
