Job Description

If you're an experienced Accounts Assistant who likes to stay busy and get stuck into something meaningful, this 4-month interim role gives you exactly that.

You'll be joining at a time when the finance team is going through a system migration, so this isn't just "business as usual." You'll play a key role in keeping everything running smoothly while gaining experience on a project that will stand out on your CV.

It's a good fit if you enjoy variety, picking things up quickly, and being someone the team can rely on from day one.

What you'll be doing:

You'll support across the day-to-day finance function, including:

  • Preparing and processing payments
  • Bank, debtor and creditor reconciliations
  • Cash adjustments across ledgers
  • VAT returns and journals
  • CIS returns
  • Maintaining accurate bank records
  • Supporting during a system migration

What you'll need:

  • Experience in a similar accounts role
  • Strong Excel skills (used daily)
  • Confidence with reconciliations and transactional finance
  • The ability to pick up new systems quickly

VAT or CIS experience would help, but isn't essential.

Why this role might suit you:

  • Clear 4-month contract with an immediate start
  • Hybrid working for better flexibility
  • 35-hour week
  • Involvement in a system migration project
  • A role where you can add value straight away
