  • Raising and managing sales invoices in line with client payment terms, while supporting credit control and aged debt reporting.
  • Performing daily bank reconciliations and maintaining accurate financial records within Xero.

The Successful Applicant



The ideal candidate will have previous experience in an Accounts Assistant or Finance Assistant role, with hands-on knowledge of sales invoicing, accounts payable, expenses, VAT, and bank reconciliations. You will be highly organised, detail-oriented, and confident managing multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy in a fast-paced environment.

Experience using Xero is essential, and you will possess strong communication skills, enabling you to build effective relationships across the business and confidently challenge stakeholders and suppliers when required. An AAT qualification (or working towards one) would be advantageous but is not essential.
