Paul Card Recruitment Ltd
Looking for a finance role where you'll gain broader exposure, develop your skills and work alongside experienced finance leaders who can help accelerate your career?
We're recruiting an Assistant Management Accountant for a successful, private equity-backed business in Billingham that is entering an exciting phase of growth and investment.
Following significant backing from a leading private equity investor, the business is continuing to expand across the UK, creating opportunities for ambitious finance professionals who want to develop their skills within a growing and commercially focused organisation.
Working closely with an experienced Financial Controller and CFO, you'll gain exposure to a wide range of accounting and reporting activities, giving you valuable insight into how a high-performing finance function supports business growth. It's an opportunity to learn from experienced finance leaders while building a strong platform for your own progression.
This isn't a role where you'll be confined to one area of finance. You'll be involved across the finance function, contributing to key reporting processes, supporting financial controls and helping drive continuous improvement as the business continues its growth journey.
What you'll be doing:
* Supporting month-end activities including journals, accruals and prepayments * Assisting with monthly management accounts and reporting * Completing bank, balance sheet and control account reconciliations * Supporting Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable processes * Preparing VAT returns and ensuring compliance * Assisting with cash flow reporting and forecasting * Maintaining accurate financial records and supporting financial controls * Contributing to process improvements and finance projects
What we're looking for:
You'll already have experience in an Assistant Accountant, Finance Assistant or Accounts Assistant role and be comfortable with reconciliations, journals and transactional finance processes.
You'll also have:
* Ideally, a minimum of AAT Level 3 qualification * Strong Excel and systems skills * Excellent attention to detail * A proactive approach and willingness to challenge and improve processes * The confidence to work collaboratively across the wider business
Experience supporting management accounts preparation would be advantageous but isn't essential.
What's in it for you?
Join a growing business at an exciting stage of its journey where you'll broaden your accounting experience, develop your commercial awareness and build a strong foundation for future career progression.
If you're looking for a role that offers more exposure, more learning and the opportunity to develop your career within a growing and ambitious business, we'd love to hear from you.
