Assistant Accountant
If you’re in a finance role and feel like you’re stuck doing the same tasks day in, day out, this could be a refreshing change.
This position sits within a growing manufacturing business where finance is closely linked to operations. You will have exposure to how finance supports day-to-day operations and contributes to the smooth running of the business.
Working alongside an experienced Finance Manager, you’ll pick up a mix of responsibilities that give you real variety and exposure.
What the role will involve:
- Supporting the production of monthly figures and helping explain performance
- Keeping supplier payments on track and dealing with queries when they arise
- Staying on top of customer balances and helping reduce overdue debt
- Checking data is accurate and resolving issues before they become problems
- Getting involved in reporting at group level
- Assisting during busy periods such as year-end
- Helping out with payroll and general admin when needed
What they’re looking for:
- Someone who already has a grounding in finance and wants to build on it
- Confident using Excel and comfortable working with data
- A practical, hands-on approach — willing to get involved where needed
- Good attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture
- Able to work in a fast-moving environment without being overwhelmed
It would help if you have:
- Experience in a manufacturing or product-based setting
- Worked with ERP systems
- Started or completed an accounting qualification
This role would suit someone who wants to step into a broader position, learn how a business really operates, and be part of a team where finance has a visible impact.
