Accounts Assistant

This is a well‑structured Accounts Assistant role within a well‑established, member‑based organisation with a long operating history and a stable leadership team.

The finance function is experienced, organised, and well supported. The role exists to add capacity to a small accounting team and maintain smooth day‑to‑day processing across accounts payable and accounts receivable. It will suit someone who enjoys routine, accuracy, and working in a professional, low‑ego environment where expectations are clear.

Working closely with a CFO and an Accountant, you’ll be responsible for the day‑to‑day transactional accounting across the organisation. The scope is broad without being overwhelming, and success in the role comes from being consistent, organised, and detail‑focused rather than overly commercial or strategic.

The role covers:

• End‑to‑end Accounts Payable, including invoice processing, weekly payment runs, bank file uploads and supplier remittances

• Accounts Receivable, including posting and allocating incoming payments and monitoring outstanding balances

• Issuing monthly statements, managing overdue accounts and responding to related queries

• Managing AP and AR inboxes and liaising with internal stakeholders and external suppliers

• Assisting with month‑end reporting and maintaining accurate financial records

• Providing general support to the finance team as required

You’ll be trained on the organisation’s accounting and member management system, with Excel used regularly for reconciliations and reporting support.

This role suits someone with a solid grounding in transactional accounting who values structure, routine, and stability.

You’ll likely bring:

• Around 2–3 years’ experience in an Accounts Assistant, AP or AR role

• Practical exposure to both accounts payable and receivable

• Comfortable Excel skills and confidence picking up internal systems

• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to work

• Clear, professional communication when dealing with internal teams and external contacts

Industry background is open — hospitality or membership‑based environments are helpful but not essential.

• Permanent, full‑time position with consistent business hours

• On‑site, centrally located workplace with reliable systems and processes

• Small finance team with approachable leadership and low turnover

• A role focused on doing the fundamentals well, not constant firefighting

• Stable organisation with realistic expectations around workload

This is a sensible move for an Accounts Assistant who wants security, clarity around responsibilities, and a professional environment without unnecessary pressure.
