Looking for a finance role where no two days are the same? We're working with an exciting and growing advertising business based in Birmingham City Centre that's looking for an Accounts Assistant to become an integral part of their close-knit finance team. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who enjoys getting involved across the whole finance function rather than being confined to one area. From Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable through to bank reconciliations, payment runs and process improvements, you'll have genuine variety in your day while playing an important role in the continued growth of the business. Better still, the person you're replacing has just moved on to a Finance Manager position after four successful years with the company, which says everything about the progression and development opportunities available here.We're looking for someone who genuinely loves finance. You'll already have experience across both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, but we're looking for more than just technical ability. We want someone who's bright, engaging and full of initiative. Someone who enjoys taking ownership, questions whether there's a better way of doing things and gets excited by improving systems and processes - someone happy to challenge the current way of working! If you're looking for a role where your ideas are welcomed, your development is supported and you'll be surrounded by a fun, easy-going team who enjoy a laugh just as much as they enjoy doing a great job, then you'll fit in brilliantly here.What you will be doing\n
