If you''re currently in a finance role where you''re mainly processing month end and not getting much exposure beyond the numbers, this could be the opportunity that changes that.

Or if you''re looking for a business where you can genuinely develop over the next few years rather than feeling like you''ve hit a ceiling already, keep reading.

Why this role?

This isn''t a finance role where you''ll sit quietly in the background producing reports nobody reads.

You''ll be working closely with the Lead Management Accountant and Finance Director in a business that''s growing, changing and constantly evolving.

They''re looking for someone who wants to get involved operationally, build relationships across the business and become a key part of the finance team over time.

You''ll be speaking with non-finance teams, supporting decision making and getting exposure to both management accounting and operational finance.

What you''ll be doing

  • Assisting with monthly management accounts
  • Journals, accruals and prepayments
  • Balance sheet reconciliations
  • Fixed asset accounting and maintaining the asset register
  • Supporting budgeting and year-end processes
  • Working closely with operational teams across the business
  • Supporting the wider finance team with ad hoc projects and commercial analysis

What they''re looking for

  • Previous experience as an Assistant Accountant or similar finance role
  • Part-qualified or qualified by experience candidates are considered
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Someone confident in communicating with non-finance stakeholders
  • A proactive attitude and willingness to get involved
  • Someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced and changing environment

What''s in it for you?

  • Genuine long-term progression
  • Exposure to operational and commercial finance
  • Direct mentorship from senior finance leadership
  • Study support available
  • A varied role where no two months are the same
  • A collaborative, down-to-earth working environment
  • Flexibility and trust once established in the role
