Are you an experienced Accounts Assistant looking for a new and rewarding opportunity?
Would you like to join a well-established professional services company offering a hybrid working environment?
Are you someone who enjoys variety, working in a close-knit team, and supporting a business beyond just the numbers?
If so, this could be the perfect role for you.
Our client is seeking a confident and capable Accounts Assistant to join their team on a full-time basis. This varied role would suit someone who enjoys taking ownership of day-to-day Account Assistant's tasks, while also providing light administrative and PA support to the Managing Director.
This is a permanent position, with approximately 80% bookkeeping and 20% PA support, and is office-based three days per week—so own transport is essential due to the rural location.
Key Responsibilities:
* Do you have experience using Sage to maintain accurate financial records?
* Can you confidently handle sales and purchase invoice processing, bank reconciliations, and petty cash?
* Are you familiar with preparing and submitting VAT returns in line with HMRC deadlines?
* Can you manage accounts receivable/payable across multiple client accounts?
* Are you comfortable liaising with clients to collect records and resolve queries?
* Would you be happy to support payroll processing and assist with year-end file preparation?
* Are you highly organised when it comes to electronic filing systems?
* Do you enjoy supporting senior leaders with PA tasks, such as minute-taking and diary management?
About You:
* You have at least 2 years' experience in a bookkeeping role
* You're confident using Sage 50 or Sage Business Cloud
* You understand double-entry bookkeeping and VAT inside out
* You're detail-focused, accurate, and comfortable juggling multiple tasks
* You enjoy building relationships and working with clients
* An AAT qualification is a plus, but not essential
* You're proactive, flexible, and ready to be a vital part of a small, friendly team
This is a lovely opportunity to join a growing and supportive business offering a mix of office-based and hybrid working, variety in your day-to-day tasks, and the chance to make a real impact.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
