Assistant Accountant – Fixed-Term to April 2027
If you want your next finance role to be about live project accounting rather than routine ledger work, this is worth a look.
You'll join a busy finance team supporting a growing organisation's project accounting — helping to report on projects, maintain project ledgers, and post the accounting entries that keep capital spend under control.
There's real variety here too: coding and batching contractor invoices, investigating supplier rebate claims, supporting asset depreciation and reconciliations, and getting involved in audit queries.
It's a genuinely broad seat for someone early in their career who wants exposure beyond routine transactional finance.
What you'll need
- AAT studier, or a graduate with a relevant degree
- Some experience in a finance role
- Intermediate Excel skills
- A fast learner with a proactive, can-do approach and a genuine interest in developing further
Nice to have: you've started ACCA or CIMA study, worked in a larger organisation, or used D365 / Microsoft Dynamics.
This is a fixed-term contract running to 30 April 2027 — a strong opportunity to build capital and project accounting experience with a growing organisation.
