Assistant Accountant

Warrington (Hybrid)

Up to £35,000

Are you looking for the next step in your finance career?

We're working with a hugely successful and growing business based in the heart of Birchwood that's looking to add an Assistant Accountant to its established finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive environment where you'll gain exposure to both the accounting and commercial sides of the business, giving you a varied role with plenty of scope to develop.

This isn't a role where you'll be stuck processing invoices all day. You'll be working closely with colleagues across finance and operations, helping to manage project finances, support month-end activities and provide the financial information that helps the business make informed decisions.

If you're naturally curious, enjoy getting into the detail and want a role where you can learn, develop and take on more responsibility over time, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Completing bank and balance sheet reconciliations.

• Maintaining the fixed asset register and processing depreciation.

• Reconciling company credit cards and posting journals.

• Preparing accruals, prepayments and revenue journals.

• Supporting month-end and year-end accounting processes.

• Monitoring project costs from start to finish, ensuring accurate financial reporting throughout.

• Processing internal recharges and cost allocations.

• Working alongside operational teams to understand project performance and financial results.

• Assisting with management accounts and providing financial analysis where required.

• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and support the wider finance team with ad hoc duties.

What we're looking for

• Previous experience in a finance role such as Assistant Accountant, Accounts Assistant or Finance Analyst.

• A good understanding of reconciliations, journals and month-end processes.

• Confident using Excel and finance systems.

• Studying towards AAT, ACCA or CIMA would be advantageous, but isn't essential.

• Someone who enjoys building relationships with people across the business.

• A proactive approach and a genuine willingness to learn and develop.

Whats in it for you?

• Join a well-established, successful business with ambitious growth plans.

• Study support

• Gain valuable exposure to both finance and commercial operations.

• 25 days holiday

• Genuine opportunities to progress your career as the business continues to grow.

If you're looking for a role that offers more than just the day-to-day accounts duties and want to become a key part of a collaborative finance team, we'd love to hear from you.
