Accounts Assistant – Growing Travel Group
📍 Uppingham – 1–2 days per week in the office
✈️ Business & Consumer Travel
💰 £28,000 – £32,000
Are you a detail-driven finance professional looking to take the next step?
We Do Group are working with a dynamic and growing travel business to find a capable, hands-on Accounts Assistant. You’ll be joining a collaborative finance team supporting a fast-paced, multi-entity environment—helping to keep operations smooth and accurate as the group continues to expand.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants variety in their role, understands the flow of debits and credits, and is confident managing day-to-day transactional finance. If you're ambitious and looking for progression, this role has a clear path to becoming the Finance Controller’s right hand—getting involved in deeper month-end responsibilities and shaping process improvements along the way.
🎯 What We're Looking For
We're after someone dynamic and reliable—happy to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. You’ll be confident working across both purchase and sales ledger, bank reconciliation, and month-end tasks. A solid understanding of accounting principles (especially debits and credits!) is essential.
You'll be working across a mix of travel brands, so being able to prioritise, communicate clearly, and work flexibly will set you up for success. There’s plenty of room to grow, and you’ll be supported in taking on more responsibility as the business scales.
