Group Accounts Assistant

Location: Norwich
Salary: £30-35k (Office based with flexibility)

Privately owned successful group of businesses is looking to appoint a Group Accounts Assistant to join their finance team and provide day-to-day support across a broad range of accounting tasks.

Working closely with the Group Management Accountant, you’ll help keep the finance function running smoothly by maintaining accurate records, processing transactions and supporting month-end activity. It’s a hands-on role that will give you exposure to different areas of finance and the opportunity to build on your existing experience.

This position would suit someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in getting the detail right and is keen to continue developing their accounting skills within a supportive team.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Raising customer invoices and maintaining the sales ledger
• Monitoring customer accounts and assisting with credit control
• Allocating customer payments and reconciling accounts
• Reconciling supplier statements and resolving account queries
• Processing daily banking transactions
• Completing bank reconciliations
• Assisting with cash flow reporting
• Supporting month-end procedures and account reconciliations
• Maintaining fixed asset records
• Assisting with payroll administration and employee expenses
• Supporting the preparation of VAT returns

About You

You’ll already have some experience working in an accounts or finance support role and be comfortable handling sales ledger, purchase ledger and bank reconciliations.

You’ll also need:

• Good numerical skills and attention to detail
• A reliable and organised approach to your work
• The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel
• Clear communication skills
• A positive attitude and willingness to support the wider team

It would be helpful, although not essential, if you are AAT qualified or currently studying towards an accounting qualification. Experience using Sage or supporting month-end processes would also be useful.

What’s on Offer?

This is a great opportunity to join a growing business in a role where you’ll be trusted with real responsibility from the outset.

You’ll work closely with experienced finance professionals, gain exposure to a wide range of accounting duties and have the chance to develop your skills as the finance function continues to evolve.
