Assistant Accountant

Didcot | Hybrid (3 days) | 35-hour week

£30,000 – £35,000 + 36 days holiday (incl. bank hols)

You’ll be stepping into a position with real ownership - taking responsibility for key areas of the ledger, owning reconciliations, and playing a visible role in reporting and process improvement.

It’s a role where you’re trusted to run things, not just support them.

The role:

• Ownership of key reconciliations (cash, ledger, balances)
• Involvement in month-end reporting and analysis
• Preparing reports and statements for internal and external stakeholders
• Managing queries and building relationships across the business
• Working with large datasets and improving reporting processes
• Getting stuck into systems and helping make things better

What they’re looking for:

• Experience in a finance role with solid accounting fundamentals
• Strong Excel skills (there will be a test)
• Comfortable using finance systems/ERPs
• Someone who takes ownership and doesn’t need hand-holding
• Confident communicator who can deal with stakeholders

Why this role stands out:

• Proper ownership from day one
• Exposure beyond pure transactional finance
• 35-hour working week
• Hybrid working (3 days in the office)
• 36 days holiday (including bank holidays)
• A role you can actually grow in
