Assistant Accountant

This business operates at the heart of regional connectivity, and it's growing, not just in size, but in complexity, capability and ambition.

Across two business units, finance plays a central role in supporting decision-making across the organisation and is evolving to strengthen reporting, improve processes and support future growth.

This is a hands-on, developmental role offering hybrid working (four days in the office, one day from home) and the opportunity to build both technical and commercial finance experience.

The Role

As Assistant Accountant, you'll work closely with the Finance Controller in a broad role designed to develop your capability and understanding of the wider business.

You'll take ownership of key finance processes across receivables and the general ledger, while gaining exposure to audit, budgeting and system change. It's well-suited to someone looking for progression beyond routine processing.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing quarterly VAT returns and reconciliations
• Owning the sales ledger, including invoicing and credit control
• Supporting accounts payable, particularly during busy periods
• Posting journals and supporting balance sheet reconciliations
• Supporting audit fieldwork and year-end processes
• Contributing to process improvements as systems and ways of working evolve

You'll work directly with the Finance Controller, gaining valuable exposure to how finance supports wider business decisions.

About You

You'll have a solid foundation in finance and be looking to progress your career, gained either through hands-on experience in a junior finance role or via a degree in finance, accounting or a related subject.

You'll also bring a proactive mindset, confidence in communicating internally and externally, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, changing environment.

What's on offer?

• A genuinely developmental role with progression potential
• Hybrid working: four days office-based, one day working from home
• Working hours of 8:00 am-4:30 pm
• Educational allowance after 12 months
• Annual well-being allowance
