ACCOUNTS ASSISTANT - SWADLINCOTE

Up to £32,000 Full Time, Permanent Early Finish Friday

SF Partners are excited to be partnering exclusively with an established business based in Swadlincote who are looking to recruit an experienced Accounts Assistant on a full-time, permanent basis.

This is a varied, hands-on position covering both transactional finance and month-end support. The successful candidate will take ownership of Purchase and Sales Ledger duties whilst also gaining exposure to the wider accounts function.

Salary: Up to £32,000

Hours: Monday-Thursday 8:00am-4:30pm, Friday 8:00am-1:30pm

Holiday: 25 days + bank holidays, increasing with length of service

The role:

Manage the Purchase Ledger, ensuring supplier invoices are correctly coded, recorded, matched and authorised
Process Sales and manual customer invoices
Credit Control and customer account queries
Process and record cash receipts and monitor cashflow
Bank and Balance Sheet reconciliations
Accruals and prepayments
Support with month-end and annual financial reporting
Assist with the preparation of accounts and VAT returns
Maintain and reconcile fixed asset records, including additions, disposals and depreciation
Support with audit requirements
Assist with Intrastat reporting
Deal with supplier queries and reminder letters
Support the wider Finance team as required

The ideal candidate:

My client is looking for someone with previous experience within a varied finance position who is confident working independently and using their own initiative.

You will ideally have:

Strong Purchase and Sales Ledger experience
Previous Credit Control experience
Experience of reconciliations and month-end processes
Good attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
A proactive approach and the ability to manage your own workload
Strong communication skills
A willingness to support across the wider finance function
Previous manufacturing experience would be advantageous but is not essential

You do not need to be experienced across every aspect of the accounts work, as training can be provided in these areas. The key requirement is someone with a solid transactional finance background who is looking for varied and stable role. This is a great opportunity to join an established manufacturing business in a varied role offering exposure beyond Purchase and Sales Ledger and the opportunity to continue developing within finance.
