KD Recruitment • Permanent • York, York, England, United Kingdom • £27k - £28k / year • 2h ago

Are you an experienced Accounts Assistant looking for your next opportunity in the Pocklington area? Do you enjoy working in a varied finance role where no two days are quite the same? Are you someone who takes pride in keeping things organised, spotting the detail that others miss and getting stuck in to help the wider team?

If so, this Accounts Assistant job in the Pocklington area could be exactly what you're looking for.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a successful and growing manufacturing business with a friendly, down-to-earth culture. Working closely with the Finance Manager, you'll become an important part of a small finance team, supporting the day-to-day running of the accounts function while helping the business through an exciting transition to a new finance system. This is a hands-on role where your initiative, organisation and willingness to muck in will be valued just as much as your finance experience.

What the Accounts Assistant job involves

As the Accounts Assistant, you'll provide support across a variety of finance activities, including:

Managing the sales ledger, raising invoices and ensuring customer accounts are accurate.

Chasing outstanding payments and carrying out credit control activities professionally over the telephone.

Processing purchase ledger invoices and reconciling supplier statements.

Investigating and resolving invoice and account queries.

Supporting purchasing administration and maintaining accurate records.

Assisting with goods received documentation and ensuring paperwork is completed correctly.

Maintaining accurate financial records using the company's accounting systems.

Supporting the finance team during the implementation of a new ERP system, including data migration and checking information for accuracy.

Producing reports and maintaining spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel.

Working closely with colleagues across different departments to resolve queries and ensure the smooth running of the finance function.

Supporting month-end activities and providing general accounts administration as required.

Skills required

We're looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work and isn't afraid to investigate problems or suggest improvements. You'll ideally have:

Previous experience within an Accounts Assistant, Finance Assistant, Purchase Ledger or Sales Ledger role.

Experience of both sales ledger and purchase ledger processes.

Credit control experience with confidence speaking to customers over the telephone.

Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail.

The ability to prioritise your workload and work independently using your own initiative.

Strong communication skills and a friendly, approachable manner.

Good Microsoft Excel skills.

Experience using Sage would be advantageous, whilst knowledge of SAP Business One would be highly desirable, although training will be provided.

A proactive, positive attitude and a willingness to support colleagues whenever needed.

Someone who enjoys working as part of a close-knit team and will fit naturally into a friendly office environment.
