Assistant Accountant

Nigel Wright Group


The Business
West Yorkshire | Hybrid Working | Up to £36,000 + Study Support
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a proactive and ambitious part-qualified accountant to join a well-established, market-leading business with a strong UK presence and international reach.
This is a fantastic role for someone looking to step into a more technical, commercially relevant position within a supportive environment that genuinely invests in development and progression.

Our client is a well-established and recognised leader in its sector. The business combines a people-focused culture with a strong commercial mindset, offering employees the opportunity to develop their careers in a supportive and collaborative environment.
There is a strong emphasis on internal progression, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career within financial accounting.

The Role
You’ll join a large, structured finance function within a business that is continuing to grow and diversify its offering. With exposure across multiple entities and international markets, this role offers excellent breadth and long-term career potential.
Reporting into the Financial Accounting Manager, you will play a key role in strengthening the team’s technical capability, with a focus on financial accounting, compliance and statutory support.
This is not a transactional role – it is ideally suited to someone looking to deepen their understanding of financial accounting in a fast-paced, professional environment.
Key Responsibilities:

  • Support monthly close activities including journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Assist with statutory reporting and audit processes across multiple entities
  • Provide support on tax queries and compliance activity
  • Manage key accounting areas including fixed assets, lease accounting and intercompany
  • Contribute to cashflow, treasury and banking processes when required
  • Work closely with internal stakeholders, including international teams
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives and ad hoc finance projects

About You
We are keen to speak with candidates who are looking to step up into a more complex and technical assistant accountant role.
Essential experience:

  • Proven month-end exposure within an industry-based finance role
  • Strong grounding in financial accounting (beyond purely transactional duties)
  • Confident using Excel and comfortable working with financial data
  • Experience working in a structured, deadline-driven environment

Qualifications:

  • Part-qualified ACCA or CIMA (or actively studying)

Personal attributes:

  • Proactive and able to take ownership of responsibilities
  • Confident communicator – able to build relationships across teams
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
  • Able to work independently and “hit the ground running”
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced month-end environment

Why Apply?

  • Salary: Up to £36,000 (depending on experience)
  • Full study support
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Pension scheme
  • Hybrid working (typically 3 days from home, 2 days on-site)
  • Flexible start and finish times
  • Additional employee benefits
