Polegate, East Sussex | Immediate start – candidates on notice of 1 week or less preferred

Are you looking to start or grow your career in finance? Our client, an industry-leading company that's growing rapidly through acquisitions, is looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their finance team on an immediate basis.

This role would suit someone already working in a junior accounts role but it's equally well suited to a keen graduate, or someone studying towards their AAT, ACCA or CIMA, who's looking for their break into a finance career. If coming from a graduate background, it’s necessary you studied accountancy related modules as part of your degree. Full training and support will be given, so what matters most is your attitude, accuracy and willingness to learn.

• Supplier statement reconciliations
• Managing the ticketing system
• Processing proforma payments
• Creating and amending supplier accounts

• Available immediately or on a maximum of one week's notice
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy when working with financial data
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office, especially Excel; happy to pick up new accounting software
• Good organisational and time management skills
• Clear, professional communication skills, written and verbal
