Accounts Assistant

Peregrine Risk Management is looking for an Accounts Assistant to join our finance team. The role suits someone who works carefully and wants to build a career in finance.

What you will do

• Enter and maintain accounting records in our accounting system. Experience of Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, PeopleSoft or Workday will help you settle in quickly.
• Process accounts payable transactions so that suppliers are paid on time and every payment is correctly recorded.
• Reconcile accounts and prepare reports for month-end and year-end close.
• Check invoices and receipts against supporting documents before they are posted.
• Work with colleagues to resolve discrepancies in payables and receivables.
• Keep financial documents filed in line with company policy so they are ready for audit at any point.
• Suggest changes to data entry procedures and finance workflows where you see a way to reduce errors or save time.

What we are looking for

• Experience with at least one accounting package such as Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, PeopleSoft or Workday. Candidates who have used more than one system, or who learn new systems quickly, will be at an advantage.
• Accurate data entry and a habit of checking your own work.
• A working knowledge of accounts payable processes and the standards that apply to them in financial services.
• Competence in Excel for analysis and reporting, including lookups and pivot tables.
• Good organisation, including the ability to prioritise when several deadlines fall in the same week.
• Clear written and spoken communication, because much of the role involves resolving queries with colleagues and suppliers.
