Accounts Assistant - Full Time - Permanent - Saltash - £28 - £30k
I’m currently recruiting for an Accounts Assistant on behalf of a well established and innovative business based in Saltash. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing company with an international reach, offering a varied and hands on finance role within a friendly and collaborative team environment.
This position will suit someone who enjoys working across multiple areas of transactional finance and wants to be part of a business where they can genuinely contribute and continue developing their accounting experience. The successful candidate will play an important role in supporting the day to day running of the finance function while gaining exposure to wider accounting and business operations.
The company offers a supportive and team focused culture, alongside an attractive benefits package including an early finish every Friday. This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to build a long term career within a busy and evolving finance environment.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Processing purchase invoices and supplier payments
* Managing supplier statements and reconciliations
* Supporting sales ledger and credit control activities
* Processing expenses, bank reconciliations, and petty cash
* Assisting with VAT returns and cashflow updates
* Supporting month end processes and management accounts preparation
* Managing finance inboxes and general accounts administration
* Providing day to day support to the Financial Controller and wider finance team
We’re keen to speak with Accounts Assistants, Purchase Ledger Clerks, Finance Assistants, or Assistant Accountants with previous experience within a finance or accounts environment. AAT qualifications or similar practical experience would be highly beneficial.
Applicants should have experience using Sage, ideally Sage 200, alongside strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial data, reconciliations, and reporting. Experience within manufacturing, engineering, or multi-site businesses would be advantageous but is not essential.
This is an excellent opportunity for an Accounts Assistant looking for a varied finance role in Cornwall offering career development, job security, and exposure across a growing international business.
