What We're Looking For
- 3+ years' proven UK experience in a finance/accounts role, or equivalent (desirable)
- AAT qualification, part-qualified AAT, or relevant accounting study (desirable)
- Strong practical bookkeeping and accounting experience, including purchase/sales ledger, credit control and reconciliations
- Experience with VAT, PAYE and National Insurance processes
- Experience using Xero (or similar finance systems) ; strong Microsoft Excel skills
- Experience working within an SME environment is advantageous
- Proactive, hands-on and inquisitive, with strong commercial awareness and attention to detail
- Confident communicator, comfortable dealing with Directors, clients, suppliers and external accountants
What's on Offer
- Health Shield cash back plans
- Good employer pension contribution
- Free on-site parking
- Bonus potential
- Possible study support
- Regular social events, including Christmas and summer parties
- An autonomous role in a friendly working environment
If you're a proactive, hands-on finance professional looking for an autonomous Accounts Manager role with real flexibility, apply today.
