Your new company I am working with a thriving national business based in Chorley who are now looking to appoint an experienced Assistant Accountant to join their team on a permanent and full-time basis.

This is a newly created position which has been created due to continued growth within the business.

As Assistant Accountant, you will manage the company cashbook and petty cash, reconcile company bank accounts, process and deal with all debtors and creditors, ensuring transactions are valid and reconciled, maintain the company's fixed asset register, process prepayments, accruals, VAT, supplier reconciliations and bank reconciliations.

You will report directly to the Finance Manager, where you will gain further exposure to management accounting.

This is a full-time role, working Monday to Friday and fully based on-site.

To be successful for this position, you will have worked in a similar position recently and be able to hit the ground running.

Excel skills, including VLOOKUP and pivot tables, are essential for this role, and ideally have worked on SAP or another ERP system.
