Accounts Assistant & Reception

Accounts Assistant (6-Month Contract)

We are recruiting an Accounts Assistant for a 6-month contract within a fast-paced office environment. This role requires someone who can start at short notice and is comfortable stepping into a hands‑on, varied position from day one.

This is a split role. Alongside core finance responsibilities, you will also take responsibility for front‑of‑house duties. That means meeting visitors, handling calls and being the first point of contact when needed. If you’re looking for a purely accounts‑focused role, this won’t be the right fit.

You’ll work closely with the Management Accountant, supporting day‑to‑day finance operations while also helping keep the wider office running smoothly. It’s a practical role where you’ll be expected to get involved, manage your own workload and switch between tasks as priorities change.
