Accounts Assistant
Farnborough | Full-time | Office based | c£30,000 pa
Love getting the numbers right – and making things work better?
We are looking for an experienced Accounts Assistant to join a friendly, fast-moving SME in Farnborough.
This is a hands-on role where you will play an important part in keeping the day-to-day finance function running smoothly. Around 70% of your time will be focused on the purchase ledger, so if you enjoy keeping things accurate, organised and on track, this could be a great fit.
You will be responsible for processing supplier invoices, matching them to purchase orders, resolving discrepancies, preparing payments and completing bank reconciliations. You will also deal with cash, raise sales invoices and support other routine finance activity.
The business has recently introduced Visma Business and is working towards digitising as much of its finance processing as possible. You do not need previous Visma experience, but you will need to be confident with technology, comfortable learning new systems and keen to find practical ways to make processes work better.
This is a small business, so the role has plenty of variety. Alongside your finance responsibilities, you will occasionally help with straightforward office and facilities tasks and support the wider team when needed. It will suit someone who likes to get involved, takes ownership and enjoys working in an environment where things get done without unnecessary bureaucracy.
We are looking for someone who:
· Has relevant accounts experience, ideally with strong purchase ledger or accounts payable experience
· Is confident with bank reconciliations and day-to-day transactional finance
· Has excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills
· Is comfortable following up queries, challenging discrepancies and seeing things through
· Is tech savvy and confident learning a newly implemented ERP system
· Ideally has experience of multi-currency transactions, European suppliers and working in an SME
The role is fully office based in Farnborough, Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 5.00 pm (4.30pm on Friday), so it is likely to suit someone living within a sensible commuting distance.
If you are looking for a varied accounts role where your attention to detail will be valued, you can take ownership of your work and you enjoy being part of a practical, supportive team, we would love to hear from you.
