Assistant Accountant

Our excellent client in Stonehouse is looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their team - ideally to start as soon as possible. You will be here to support the Financial Controller with a variety of accounting tasks- mainly focusing on purchase ledger tasks, but available to support on other areas.

Previous accounts and purchase ledger experience is essential, however, some of the below duties can be shared amongst the team, so if you feel there is something you may not be as strong on, please do still apply.

You will begin by assisting with more day-to-day manual accounting tasks, and within the next month, a new SAP system will be introduced, which will alleviate you of the more day to day duties, to allow you to get stuck into some more meaty accounts work.
