We're working with an ambitious, fast-growing organisation in a dynamic sector that's looking for a talented Assistant Accountant to join their finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a role where you'll gain broad exposure, meaningful responsibility, and real input into financial performance, all within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment. The Role

As an Assistant Accountant, you'll play a key part in keeping the finance function running smoothly and accurately. Your role will span across financial reporting, analysis, and process support - giving you a well-rounded experience and the chance to build strong foundations in both technical and commercial finance. You'll be involved in preparing journals and reconciliations, supporting cash flow reporting, and contributing to the production of monthly management accounts. Alongside this, you'll work closely with colleagues across the business to gather information, resolve queries, and ensure the integrity of financial data. There's also plenty of opportunity to get involved in forecasting, budgeting, and continuous improvement initiatives, helping to strengthen internal controls and streamline processes. During key reporting periods, such as month-end, you'll be instrumental in delivering accurate financial information to tight deadlines. This role offers variety, responsibility, and the chance to support wider finance operations - including stepping in where needed and contributing to ad-hoc projects driven by senior leadership.
