About the Role
A great opportunity to join an impressive organisation in central Leeds on a permanent basis, supporting the accounts function across a wide range of day-to-day finance tasks.
You’ll be part of a small, friendly and supportive finance team within a business that genuinely looks after its people. The company has a very settled team, low staff turnover and a positive working culture, making this a lovely opportunity for someone looking for a stable, long-term accounts role. This is a hybrid role, with two days on site.
The Role
This is a varied Accounts Assistant position where you will support across supplier invoices, expenses, reconciliations, payments, finance queries and general accounts administration. There will also be the opportunity to learn additional tasks over time as the role supports the line manager, so it would suit someone who is naturally curious, accurate and keen to take ownership of their work.
You do not need an accounts qualification, and this role is unlikely to suit someone looking for a fast-track route into a more senior accountancy position. It would be ideal for someone who enjoys accounts work, wants variety, and is looking to become a valued part of a stable and supportive team.
