Accounts Assistant – Newark (Hybrid)Full-time, 40 hours (flexible start between 8–10am)
2 days work from home
Start ASAP – Temp role with the potential to go permanent
We’ve got a great opportunity for someone experienced in accounts to join a friendly, down-to-earth finance team in Newark. It’s a typical Accounts Assistant role but with some nice perks — flexible hours, 2 days a week from home, and a supportive team to work with.
You’ll be working closely with the Financial Controller (the group finance team is based in London), and if things go well, there’s a good chance this temp role could turn permanent.
The process is really straightforward — just a 20-minute Teams chat with the Financial Controller, and if it’s a match, you could start straight away!
You’ll be a key part of the Finance & Operations team, helping to make sure everything runs smoothly — from supplier payments and expenses to reconciliations and reporting.
Day-to-day tasks include:
1. Managing supplier accounts and handling invoicing, debit notes, and retros
2. Checking product margins and flagging any issues to the Buying & Merchandising team
3. Preparing and submitting payment files for approval and processing
4. Reconciling supplier statements and sorting out any discrepancies
5. Processing petty cash from stores
6. Supporting with month-end tasks and general finance admin
7. Communicating with suppliers and internal teams to keep everything on track
What we’re looking for:
8. Experience in Accounts Payable
9. Confident managing supplier payments and reconciliations
10. Solid Excel and Outlook skills
11. Proactive, motivated, and happy to work independently or as part of a team
12. Flexible and adaptable — someone who can roll up their sleeves and get stuck in
13. A genuine interest in retail or the creative industry
14. Experience using Netsuite ERP would be a bonus
