Accounts Assistant & Reception

Accounts Assistant (6-Month Contract)

We are recruiting an Accounts Assistant for a 6-month contract within a fast-paced office environment. This role requires someone who can start at short notice and is comfortable stepping into a hands-on, varied position from day one.

This is a split role. Alongside core finance responsibilities, you will also take responsibility for front-of-house duties. That means meeting visitors, handling calls and being the first point of contact when needed. If you’re looking for a purely accounts-focused role, this won’t be the right fit.

The Role

You’ll work closely with the Management Accountant, supporting day-to-day finance operations while also helping keep the wider office running smoothly. It’s a practical role where you’ll be expected to get involved, manage your own workload and switch between tasks as priorities change.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Processing purchase ledger invoices and maintaining accurate records
• Supporting payment runs, expenses and supplier queries
• Carrying out reconciliations and assisting with month-end tasks
• Raising purchase orders and maintaining supplier accounts
• Assisting with journals and general finance administration
• Supporting credit control when required
• Handling general office admin (bookings, supplies, ad hoc support)
• Providing reception cover – meeting visitors, answering calls and managing post

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in an accounts or finance role is essential
• Comfortable using accounting systems and Excel
• Able to pick things up quickly and work with minimal supervision
• Organised, accurate and able to manage competing priorities
• Confident dealing with people both internally and externally
• Willing to take on reception and administrative duties as part of the role

The Detail

• 6-month contract
• Immediate start or short notice required
• Office-based role
