Accounts Assistant

I am delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a progressive and forward-thinking business based in Doncaster, operating within an interesting service sector.

The business has built a strong reputation within its specialist field and continues to develop and evolve, embracing new ideas and ways of working. This is an exciting opportunity to join an organisation that is ambitious, commercially minded and focused on delivering a high-quality service to its customers.

As the business continues to grow, they are looking to appoint a Part-Time Accounts Assistant to support their finance function.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a part-time position within a business that offers a more interesting and varied environment than a traditional finance role.

The Role

The position has a specific focus on purchase ledger, with some involvement in credit control and wider finance administration as and when required.

You will play an important role in keeping the day-to-day finance function running smoothly, working closely with colleagues across the business and building effective relationships with suppliers and customers.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Processing, coding and matching purchase invoices
• Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date purchase ledger
• Reconciling supplier statements and resolving discrepancies
• Preparing supplier payment runs
• Responding to supplier queries and maintaining good supplier relationships
• Monitoring outstanding customer accounts
• Assisting with credit control and following up overdue invoices when required
• Allocating payments and keeping customer accounts up to date
• Supporting the wider finance team with general accounts administration
• Assisting with month-end activities and reconciliations
• Providing support on other finance-related tasks as the business requires

About You

We're looking for an organised, reliable and detail-focused Accounts Assistant who enjoys being part of a busy and progressive business.

Previous experience within a purchase ledger or transactional finance environment would be highly beneficial. However, we're also open to candidates with broader accounts experience who are keen to develop their skills further.

You’ll ideally be:

• Experienced in purchase ledger or transactional accounts
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Confident dealing with invoices, reconciliations and financial records
• Comfortable communicating with both suppliers and customers
• Able to work independently and manage your own workload
• Flexible and willing to support across different areas of the finance function
• Proactive, professional and keen to make a positive contribution
• Comfortable using accounting software and Microsoft Office

Why Join?

• Flexible working hours
• Hybrid working when needed
• Supportive and friendly team environment
• Progressive and forward-thinking business
• Interesting and specialist industry
• Varied role with opportunities to develop
• Strong focus on work-life balance

Candidates must be eligible to work in the UK full time without restriction.
