I’m working with a long-standing client based in Grantham who is looking to recruit an experienced Accounts Assistant to join their small, friendly finance team. This is a key role with a strong focus on credit control and purchase ledger duties, and it offers the opportunity to take over from a well-respected team member who has been with the business for 16 years.
The company has recently transitioned from manufacturing to a distribution centre, so while the volume of invoicing has reduced, the need for accurate and proactive credit control has increased — especially with a growing number of new customers coming on board.
About the Role:
1. You'll be working closely with the Company Accountant, Kevin, as one of a team of two
2. You’ll have your own office and be expected to handle sensitive information confidentially
3. A minimum 2-week handover period is planned ahead of the current postholder’s departure on 31st July
Day-to-Day Responsibilities Include:
4. Managing aged debt (60/90 days), building strong relationships with customers
5. Carrying out credit checks and onboarding new clients
6. Processing purchase invoices and maintaining the purchase ledger
7. Reconciling petty cash and credit card statements
8. Handling bank reconciliations and daily cash postings
9. Preparing supplier payment runs
What We’re Looking For:
10. Solid experience in a similar accounts role
11. Proficiency in Sage 50
12. Someone who is approachable, detail-focused, and able to handle credit control tactfully
13. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
14. A sense of humour and a positive, can-do attitude are essential to fit in with the team
Interview Process:
15. Interviews taking place w/c 9th & 16th June – any day that week
If this sounds like the right opportunity for you or someone you know, please send your CV.
