Assistant Accountant; Hybrid

Are you an Assistant Accountant looking to develop your management accounting experience within a supportive and collaborative finance team?

I am recruiting on behalf of a well established charitable organisation in Glasgow that is looking for a proactive Assistant Accountant to join its Finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who already has a solid accounting foundation and wants to take greater ownership of month end, management accounts and financial reporting.

You will be joining a friendly and experienced finance team where you will have the opportunity to continue developing your skills while making a genuine contribution to the wider organisation.

Working closely with the Senior Management Accountant, you will be responsible for:

• Supporting the preparation of monthly management accounts
• Preparing profit and loss reporting across multiple locations
• Calculating and processing accruals and prepayments
• Preparing and posting journals
• Supporting month end processes and financial reporting
• Reviewing financial information and identifying discrepancies
• Assisting with reconciliations and resolving accounting queries
• Using Excel extensively for financial analysis and reporting
• Communicating with colleagues across the wider organisation
• Taking ownership of your workload and ensuring deadlines are met

• A solid understanding of accruals and prepayments, including the ability to calculate these independently
• Experience with profit and loss reporting
• Experience preparing and posting journals
• A good understanding of debits and credits
• Excellent attention to detail
• A proactive approach with the confidence to use your own initiative
• The ability to work effectively as part of a team while also managing your workload independently
• A genuine desire to learn and develop within finance

• Option to work one day from home / option to work condensed hours across four days
• Blue Light Card
• Access to GP and physiotherapy support through an online platform

This role would suit someone who enjoys being part of a team but does not need to be constantly directed. My client is looking for someone who will be proactive, ask questions, take ownership and look for opportunities to support the wider Finance team.
