Job description
Assistant Accountant Northampton Salary: £30,000 - £40,000 per annum Temporary to Permanent Full-time Hybrid & Flexible Working
We're recruiting an Assistant Accountant to join a well-established organisation in Northampton on a temporary-to-permanent basis. There is a strong expectation that this opportunity will move to a permanent position quickly for the right individual, offering excellent longer-term security and progression.
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you'll support the wider finance team with the accurate management and reporting of financial performance. While the role has a strong transactional focus, you'll gain exposure across the wider finance function, with study support and strong progression opportunities available.
Key Responsibilities
What Are We Looking For?
You'll ideally be AAT qualified and/or part qualified and studying towards ACCA or CIMA, with previous experience in an accounting or transactional finance environment.
You'll bring strong Excel skills, excellent attention to detail and confidence working with financial data. You'll also be organised, comfortable working to deadlines and keen to take ownership of your responsibilities.
What's On Offer?
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking to broaden their experience, continue their professional studies and progress into a more rounded accounting role.
