THE ROLE
The Assistant Cash & Bank Accountant is a new role in the Treasury Back Office team arising from the efficiencies gained from our recent finance transformation programme.

The role will help support continuous improvement of cash and banking controls, and assist with identifying further opportunities for automation.

- Business partnering with the Lease Administration team to ensure D365 lease lines are appropriately created and maintained.
- Assisting with ad‑hoc preparation of simple journal postings with assistance from the Treasury Reporting Accountant.
- Investigating routine reconciling items and queries and maintaining accurate records and supporting documentation.
- Escalating complex issues to the Senior Cash & Bank Accountant.
- Supporting continuous improvement initiatives within the team.
