We’re on the lookout for a customer-focused Accounts Assistant to join the KERB Events Finance team, helping keep the wheels turning behind the scenes. You’ll support the day-to-day admin and data entry that keep our finance function running smoothly, in a broad role with a strong focus on Accounts Payable (we work with a lot of brilliant suppliers, so there’s plenty to get stuck into).
You’ll support the Head of Finance and wider team, getting hands-on with processing, managing and troubleshooting across our accounts and systems. Attention to detail is key, especially with data, but so is a proactive, roll-up-your-sleeves approach.
This role is ideal for someone at the start of their finance career — whether a recent graduate or looking to break into the field. We’re looking for someone curious, organised and excited by a fast-paced hospitality environment. If you enjoy building relationships and learning as you go, you’ll find plenty of opportunity to grow with us.
