Who we are and what we do

We, Hachette UK Distribution, are the leading book distribution company in the UK. We are one of the most advanced distribution centres in Europe, with leading-edge automation and modern systems which will ensure world-class service to customers and publisher clients. We ship in excess of 60 million books globally each year and supply one out of every four books to the UK trade.

Our mission is to make it easy for everyone to discover new worlds of ideas, learning, entertainment and opportunity.

Hachette UK Distribution is part of the Hachette UK publishing group.

What you'll be doing

The Trust Accountant / Assistant Accountant role within the Distribution Finance department is an exciting and varied role allowing the right candidate the opportunity to own it in its entirety.

This role is responsible for maintaining the trust ledger on behalf of our group and client publishers, and reporting upon each client’s trust ledger. This includes but is not limited to: weekly and monthly cash reconciliations for both third party and intercompany payment runs; monthly publisher statements; client sales’ reconciliations; and handling all related client queries and ledger amendments.

As a technical and client facing role, a good depth of technical accounting knowledge along with an ability to demonstrate an appropriate level of professionalism as a representative of Hachette UK Distribution Ltd, is desirable.

The role will require an independent analytical approach on areas such as financial reconciliation, reporting and process development.

Data extraction, report creation and scheduling from one of our systems also plays a part within this role. Training for this will be provided, with the idea that the candidate will be the department(s) go to for the maintenance of these reports.

Who we are looking for

The role is standalone, so experience of taking full role ownership and an ability to work autonomously is desirable.

The successful candidate should have a can-do attitude with good communication skills, both written and verbal. The ability to work as a team player both within the department and outside it, with other members of the organisation, is essential.

The role would suit someone looking to further develop their technical accounting knowledge, process improvement and development skills.

As such, candidates are expected to have intermediate to advanced excel skills and be comfortable working with a number of different systems.

SAP experience is also an advantage.

What we offer

Our people are our greatest asset and our benefits reflect this. Therefore, we offer an extensive list of benefits that include:

35 days annual holiday including Bank Holidays
Pension Plan and Life Assurance schemes
Company enhanced family policy including maternity, paternity and shared parental
Reward programme giving discounts, savings and cash back at numerous retailers
2 Community Days per year
Cycle to Work scheme
Eye care vouchers
Generous discounts on books we publish
Mental Health First Aiders / Champions and an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
Wide-ranging training library
Development Programmes including Mentoring
Staff Events
Many employee networks to join
Free onsite parking
Free tea and coffee

Our commitment

Hachette employs people on the basis of their abilities. We aim to attract and develop talent from a base as broad as the world of readers we want to reach, with a wide and representative range of age, faith, disability, race, gender, sexuality and socio-economic, regional and cultural backgrounds.

If you are shortlisted and need us to make any adjustments to help you attend your interview, please let us know.

We will notify all candidates of the outcome of their application.
