Assistant Accountant

This isn't your everyday Assistant Accountant opportunity.
  
We're partnering with a successful and rapidly growing business with an impressive story, ambitious plans and a culture that genuinely feels different.
  
As soon as you walk into the office, you can feel the energy. It's busy, collaborative and full of people who LOVE what they're building together. As the business has grown, so too has the finance team, creating genuine opportunities for people to learn, develop and progress.
  
They're now looking for a highly driven Assistant Accountant to join that team.
  
About the opportunity
  
You'll work closely with an experienced Senior Financial Accountant and the broader finance team that all want you to learn, contribute and get involved.
  
As you’d expect, there are the typical Assistant Accountant responsibilities including reconciliations, journals, month-end, inventory and supporting AP and AR, But this isn't a position where you'll simply be given a list of transactions to process.
  
You'll also be encouraged to ask questions, solve problems and understand how finance supports the wider business.
  
You'll be involved in:   

• Core accounting activities, month-end and year-end support
• Working with teams across Operations, Supply Chain, Sales & Marketing
• Ad hoc analysis, projects and problem-solving
• Taking on more as your knowledge and capability grow

About you
  
You'll probably have around 1–2 years' accounting experience, either within a commercial business or from a professional services firm like one of the big 4 firms, and a good grounding in accounting principles.
  
More importantly, you'll be curious, proactive and keen to learn. You'll ask, "does that make sense?", take ownership and want to understand the business rather than simply complete your tasks.
  
Interested?
  
We expect this opportunity to attract significant interest, and the process will be competitive.
  
As part of your application, you'll be asked to answer a couple of short questions to help us understand why you're interested in this opportunity and what you could bring to it.
  
If it genuinely appeals to you, please invest a little time in your application.
  
Thank you in advance for committing to the process.
