Accounts Assistant

Accounts Assistant – Basildon – Up to £32,000

CV Screen is delighted to be recruiting an Accounts Assistant on behalf of a well-established business in Basildon. A salary of up to £32,000 is on offer. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a busy, supportive finance team where you will play a key part in keeping the invoicing function running smoothly. Reporting directly to the Finance Director, you will look after client and supplier invoicing from start to finish, working closely with colleagues across the business.

It would suit someone with solid accounts experience who takes real pride in accuracy and enjoys getting queries resolved properly.

• Raising and issuing client invoices, including batch runs, and uploading them to client portals in line with each customer's requirements
• Managing the accounts inbox, checking incoming contractor invoices and filing them correctly
• Acting as first point of contact for invoice queries, investigating discrepancies and escalating anything more complex
• Reconciling supplier statements against internal records and chasing up any differences
• Liaising with coordinators and other departments to confirm job details so billing goes out on time

• Previous experience in an accounts, invoicing or purchase/sales ledger role
• Confident with accounting software and good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel. Sage 50 experience, and exposure to the TABS invoicing system, would be an advantage but is not essential
• Strong attention to detail, well organised, and comfortable dealing with clients and colleagues directly

A salary of up to £32,000 is available, depending on experience, plus a company pension and 23 days' holiday rising to 25 days after two years' service.

The role is based in Basildon, Essex, and is easily commutable from Wickford, Billericay, Brentwood, Rayleigh, Grays, Chelmsford, Southend-on-Sea and Romford.
