We’re working with a well-established business in Rotherham that’s looking to bring an Assistant Accountant into their growing finance team.
This is a genuinely good opportunity for someone who wants more than just transactional work - you’ll get exposure across the accounts function and the chance to build on your month-end and reporting experience.
The role
You’ll support the Finance Manager and wider team in keeping everything running smoothly day-to-day, while also getting involved in the bigger picture.
Key responsibilities include:
Assisting with monthly management accounts preparation
Posting journals including accruals and prepayments
Balance sheet reconciliations
Supporting month-end and year-end processes
Managing elements of purchase ledger and supplier payments
Assisting with VAT returns and compliance tasks
Producing reports and supporting financial analysis
Identifying and improving existing processes
What we’re looking for
Previous experience in an Assistant Accountant / Accounts Assistant role preferred, but will consider graduates
Strong understanding of core finance processes (journals, reconciliations, month-end)
Accounting or related degree preferred
Good Excel skills
Someone organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a busy environment
What’s on offer
Salary up to £32,000 depending on experience
Study support
Clear progression opportunities
Supportive and down-to-earth team culture
Exposure to a broad finance role, not just transactional work
Why this role?
This isn’t one where you’ll be stuck doing the same thing every day - there’s real scope to learn, get involved, and progress as the business grows
