The stuff that sets you apart?

We're looking for an organised, communicative colleague with strong IT and problem-solving skills and experience of working in a financial processing function to provide a full service accounts experience.

You’ll have experience of posting to ledgers and an understanding of basic accounting principles.  You’ll also have technical skills for confidently using Excel, book-keeping, data entry and the self-motivation to consistently meet deadlines.  Ideally you will be AAT qualified and/or working towards a professional accounting qualification (e.g. Certified or Chartered Accountant) along with experience working in a regulated sector and using Open Accounts, Orchard or GPF systems or similar.   Full requirements included on the attached role profile.

But talk it over with your manager, to make sure it fits in around what you need to do and meet business needs.

We also provide a fantastic reward package to suit everyone –a variety of amazing discounts via PerkBox, a great Healthcare cash plan called Health Shied and a contributory pension scheme where we will match your contributions up to 9%!
