We're partnering with a leading creative agency looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their close-knit finance team.

You'll have ownership of day-to-day financial transactions and support a Management Accountant in keeping month-end processes running smoothly.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build a broad foundation in finance, understanding how a project-based business works and take on more responsibility over time.

• Supporting accounts receivable administration and credit control
• Working with the Project & Management Accountant and client teams to resolve billing or transaction queries
• Preparing routine bank and credit-card reconciliations for review
• Helping prepare schedules and information for the month-end close
• Investigating differences and following issues through to resolution

About You

• You'll have a strong foundation of accounting knowledge, ideally gained from experience in a finance or accounts assistant role
• Excellent attention to detail and numeracy
• Curious and proactive, with a willingness to investigate discrepancies and help resolve issues.
• Highly organised, with the ability to manage workloads and consistently meet deadlines.
• Confident using Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP, SUMIF) and accounting packages
• Collaborative and confident dealing with finance / non-finance staff at all seniority levels

Benefits

• Flexible working hours (9 - 5:30 with 10-4 core hours) and hybrid working (2 days in the office, 3 at home)
• Up to 28 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays and a festive-season office closure
• Life and health insurance, a workplace pension, discounted gym membership and a cycle-to-work scheme; enhanced family leave policies; and regular feedback, development conversations and opportunities to learn from colleagues across the business.
