Choose to work between 25 and 30 hours per week in a role that works around you.

As an Accounts Assistant, you'll have the flexibility to choose between 25 and 30 hours per week, with a working pattern that can fit around school runs, family commitments, studies or other commitments. You'll also become a valued member of a friendly and supportive finance team where your contribution really matters.

We're recruiting on behalf of our client for an Accounts Assistant to join their small, close-knit finance team based in Paignton. This is a busy, varied role where you'll work closely with the Finance Manager, enjoy plenty of independence once trained and have the support of the wider finance team whenever you need it.

What You'll Be Doing

As an Accounts Assistant, you'll support the day-to-day finance function with a mix of credit control and accounts administration, including:

• Managing credit control by chasing outstanding payments and resolving customer account queries.
• Building positive relationships with customers to encourage prompt payment.
• Processing supplier and customer invoices and credit notes accurately using Sage 50.
• Matching supplier invoices against the purchase order system.
• Reconciling supplier statements each month.
• Authorising purchase orders and processing receipts.
• Maintaining accurate finance records and supporting the Finance Manager with a variety of finance tasks as required.
• Providing general administrative support when needed.

This is a role where you'll be trusted to manage your own workload once you've settled in. No two days are the same, so you'll enjoy getting involved and helping wherever needed.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an Accounts Assistant who enjoys a varied role and is happy taking ownership of their workload once they've been shown the ropes.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous credit control experience and confidence chasing outstanding payments while building positive relationships with customers.
• Experience processing invoices, credit notes, reconciliations and other day-to-day finance administration.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
• Sage 50 experience would be an advantage, although experience using another accounts package will also be considered.
• Excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills and a willingness to learn.

Most importantly, you'll enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, be happy to roll up your sleeves and support the Finance Manager and wider finance team whenever needed.

What's in It for You?

• Choose to work between 25 and 30 hours per week.
• Flexibility around when those hours are worked to fit around school runs, family commitments, studies or other commitments.
• A varied Accounts Assistant role where no two days are the same.
• Plenty of trust and independence once you're settled into the role.
• A friendly, supportive finance team and an approachable Finance Manager.
• The opportunity to make a real difference within a growing business where your contribution is genuinely valued.

If you're an experienced Accounts Assistant with strong credit control skills and you're looking for a flexible part-time opportunity with a great local employer, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today.
