I'm currently recruiting for an Assistant Accountant to join a small, close-knit finance team based in St Helens. This is a genuinely varied role and would suit someone who enjoys having a broad remit rather than being restricted to one area of finance. Alongside responsibility for purchase ledger, sales ledger and credit control, you'll support with payroll, reporting, audit preparation, purchasing and wider operational duties.
The business is looking for someone who is versatile, happy to get involved across the finance function and, importantly, looking for a long-term opportunity where they can really become part of the team.
- Coding and processing purchase invoices
- Managing credit control
- Collating and arranging weekly creditor payments
- Resolving supplier discrepancies and chasing credit notes
- Supporting weekly payroll administration, including holidays and sickness
- Assisting with annual audit preparation
- Arranging import and export documentation, including transport, commercial invoices, packing lists and clearance documents
- Carrying out credit checks in the Management Accountant's absence
- Supporting supplier and service contract negotiations, including waste management, confidential waste, drinking water and cleaning
Previous experience within a varied finance/accounts position is required, along with strong purchase ledger, sales ledger and credit control experience. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working within a smaller finance team where everyone gets involved and should be looking for stability and a long-term opportunity.
Salary up to £40,000, depending on experience. Bonus scheme up to 20%. 25 days' holiday + 8 bank holidays. Full-time, permanent position. Fully office based in St Helens. Monday-Thursday: 8:30am-5:00pm.
This would be a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety of working within a smaller team and wants a role they can really make their own over the long term.
