How the Assistant Accountant role fits within the company

• The company has seen a period of extensive growth across all areas; from VAT and payroll to sole trade accounts, limited companies and audit engagements.
• As a result we have an opening for an individual who will be able to join the team, and hit the ground running.
• The successful candidate will need to be able to slot into a busy team and prepare accounts from day one.
• We use a number of accounting systems including Sage, Xero, Quickbooks and Excel. The majority of our accounts are prepared on IRIS, and whilst experience in using IRIS is an advantage – it is not essential.
• This role sits between our trainees and semi-senior accountants and hence will involve an element of review/training of juniors and also the opportunity to progress within the organisation as we continue to grow.
