Macildowie are recruiting for an Accounts Assistant to join a well-established professional services organisation. This is a varied, hands-on accounts position offering exposure across transactional finance, banking, reconciliations and purchase ledger.

Working as part of a supportive accounts team and reporting into the Head of Accounts, you'll play an important role in the day-to-day running of the finance function.

This could be a great opportunity for someone who already has experience within an accounts or finance environment and is looking for a broad role where accuracy, organisation and attention to detail are genuinely important.

The Role

As Accounts Assistant, your responsibilities will include:

Monitoring daily bank transactions and accurately recording incoming receipts
Posting receipts and payments to the appropriate client accounts and ledgers
Processing and checking electronic payments, including BACS and CHAPS
Ensuring payments are correctly authorised and sufficient funds are available before processing
Completing daily and monthly bank reconciliations

Supporting the wider accounts team with general finance and administrative duties

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is numerate, accurate and comfortable working with financial information.

Previous experience within an accounts, finance or transactional finance environment would be highly advantageous. Experience within professional services would also be beneficial, although isn't essential.

You'll also need to be:

Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
Able to manage competing priorities and busier periods
Confident communicating with colleagues and external contacts
Approachable, dependable and a strong team player
Discreet when handling confidential financial information
