We are currently working with a well-established manufacturing business based in Leeds who are looking to appoint an Assistant Accountant to join their Finance Team.

Working as part of a supportive finance team, you will play a key role in ensuring accurate financial information is maintained across the business, whilst supporting continuous improvement initiatives and the ongoing development of finance processes.

Key Responsibilities:

\n
• Managing the accounts receivable process, from invoicing through to cash allocation and reconciliation
\n
• Supporting credit control activities and maintaining accurate customer accounts
\n
• Reconciling bank accounts and multiple payment platforms, including credit cards and online payment providers
\n
• Processing and controlling stock transactions within the ERP system
\n
• Assisting with stock reconciliations and stock valuations across multiple sites

About You:

The successful candidate will ideally have:

\n
• Previous experience within a finance or accounts environment
\n

• Strong Excel skills with excellent attention to detail
\n
• Good analytical and problem-solving abilities
