Accounts Assistant

I am delighted to be partnering with a growing international business to recruit a newly created Accounts Assistant position.

This is far more than a traditional Accounts Assistant role. Alongside the day-to-day transactional accounting, you'll support month-end, project accounting, reconciliations, and work across several finance systems, making it an ideal opportunity for someone looking to broaden their experience and develop their career.

\n
• Competitive salary + hybrid working (3 days WFH/2 days office) + additional employee benefits.
\n
• This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Accounts Assistant to join a collaborative finance team in a varied role, gaining exposure across multiple areas of finance while supporting UK and overseas operations.
\n
• The opportunity to join a successful international business that continues to invest in its people and finance function.
\n
• A business whose products make a real difference globally.
