Assistant Accountant

South Leicestershire | Up to £35,000 | Full-time, permanent

Macildowie is exclusively recruiting for an Assistant Accountant to join a growing business in South Leicestershire.

This is a broad, hands-on role that would suit someone who already has good all-round finance experience and is now looking for their next step. You’ll work closely with the wider finance team and get involved in everything from day-to-day transactional finance through to VAT returns and month-end duties.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing the sales and purchase ledgers
• Processing invoices, credit notes and payments
• Completing bank reconciliations
• Processing expenses
• Investigating and resolving account queries
• Assisting with month-end duties and reconciliations
• Preparing VAT returns
• Supporting year-end requirements
• Keeping financial records accurate and up to date
• Helping with other finance tasks when needed

We’re looking for someone who has worked in a similar finance role and is comfortable managing their own workload. You’ll need practical experience of sales ledger, purchase ledger, bank reconciliations, VAT returns and month-end processes.

You’ll also be organised, accurate and confident communicating with people across the business. Good Excel skills are important, along with a willingness to get stuck in and support the team.

The salary is up to £35,000 per annum, depending on experience.

If the role sounds like a good fit, please apply with your latest CV or contact Macildowie for a confidential conversation.
