Accounts Assistant

An all-round Accounts Assistant who's happy across both sales and purchase ledger and thrives in a busy, high-volume finance team — this one's for you. We're recruiting an Accounts Assistant for a well-established, growing business in the Thame area.

It's a hands-on, varied role where you'll take real ownership of the day-to-day transactional finance — keeping supplier and customer accounts accurate, payments on time, and the numbers reconciled.

• Reconciling supplier statements and keeping high-volume supplier accounts up to date
• Raising and allocating customer invoices, and chasing outstanding payments
• Preparing supplier payment runs and posting bank transactions
• Reconciling stock in and stock out and supporting inventory records
• Producing spreadsheets and reports in Excel to support the wider finance team
• Helping with month-end tasks and general accounts administration

• Solid experience across sales and purchase ledger in a busy finance function
• Confident handling high-volume supplier accounts and reconciliations
• Strong Excel skills (formulas, sorting, VLOOKUPs an advantage)
• Experience with stock in/out or inventory reconciliation
• Well-organised, accurate and comfortable working to deadlines
• A proactive, team-focused approach and clear communication
• AAT qualified or studying is welcome but not essential — experience matters most
