This growing multinational in financial services is known for the quality of its work and the strength of its finance team. With an expanding international footprint, genuine career progression and a real commitment to employee wellbeing, it's a rewarding place to build a finance career.
An exciting new opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Accountant to join a busy finance team, reporting to the Finance Manager. Working across accounts payable, reconciliations, month-end and payroll support, you'll play a key part in keeping the finance function accurate, timely and well controlled. It's a hands-on, newly created role with genuine scope to build your technical accounting experience. Your responsibilities include:
- Manage day-to-day accounts payable, from coding and approving supplier invoices through to processing expense claims and corporate card spend
- Carry out the required checks on supplier bank details before releasing payments, helping safeguard the business against payment fraud
- Reconcile bank accounts daily, following up on discrepancies and flagging items that need attention
- Pull together month-end journals and schedules covering accruals, prepayments, leave provisions and fixed asset movements
- Play an active part in the month-end close, keeping the timetable on track and preparing balance sheet reconciliations for review
- Handle intercompany activity, including reconciliations, journal postings and the calculations that support them
- Assist with payroll-related accounting, including journals, accruals and the finance side of employee onboarding and off boarding
- Keep financial records tidy and audit-ready, and look for opportunities to streamline and automate finance processes
To be considered for this role you will have 3 to 4 years' experience in a similar accounting position, ideally gained within a mid-sized or multinational business. You will be degree qualified in accounting, finance or a related discipline, and either studying towards or planning to commence your CPA or CA. Strong Excel skills, a sound grasp of general ledger and month-end processes, and a proactive, detail-focused approach will see you succeed here. Exposure to a multi-entity environment and confidence adopting new systems and tools to lift efficiency would be well regarded.
