We’re looking for an Assistant Accountant to join us in our Belfast office. As a member of our Finance team reporting to the Senior Accountant, this role will provide accounting support for Factor’s UK and US operations. This position requires an understanding of, and management towards, the bigger picture, but with the ability to take a hands‑on approach.

The Assistant Accountant will be responsible for preparing client invoices in line with contractual agreements, as well as maintaining and updating client billing information. This role involves direct communication with customers to ensure timely billing and resolving any billing issues, escalating to management when necessary. The Accounts Assistant will also assist in maintaining accurate financial records, including monthly reconciliation of balance sheet accounts, and manage accounts receivable to ensure timely payments and collections.

Additional responsibilities include preparing and posting journal entries for month‑end closing, supporting accrual preparation, and assisting with external audits by providing the necessary documentation and explanations.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a passion for accounting to drive best practices. We’re looking for someone who can spot issues, resolve problems, and build strong relationships within and across all teams in the company. We have a casual, high‑trust office environment and are looking for the right person to take us forward!

If you believe in being a team player, can collaborate and communicate well with technical and non‑technical audiences while bringing a result‑driven, focused, high energy, confident, curious, quirky, and most of all fun sense of self, then this is the place for you.
