London / Hybrid Full-time Fixed-term contract until 30 April 2027

A well-established professional membership body and registered charity is looking for an Accounts Assistant to join its small and friendly Finance team on a fixed-term basis until the end of April 2027.

The organisation is going through an exciting period of systems development, with a new CRM currently being built and prepared for launch. This role has been created to help maintain operational continuity within the Finance team and support delivery during the CRM build and go-live period.

You'll need to be comfortable taking ownership of your work, juggling different deadlines and working accurately in a busy environment. A positive, proactive approach and the ability to build good relationships with colleagues across the organisation will also be important.

Previous experience within a charity or not-for-profit organisation and an understanding of charity VAT would be beneficial, but aren't essential.
