We are currently recruiting for an Accounts Assistant to join our expanding team, so if you would like to be a part of something new and exciting, we would like to hear from you!
About the Role

This is a great opportunity to join a growing business and take an important role in the day-to-day running of the finance function.

We’re looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership of their workload, has a good eye for detail and is happy working in a busy environment where priorities can change.
