Robert Half are delighted to be partnering with a small, ambitious, and friendly business based in Oxford. They are looking for an Accounts Assistant to take ownership of an important part of the financial operation.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with finance experience who enjoys variety, likes working with people as well as numbers, and wants to play a genuinely meaningful role within a growing, close-knit business.
The Role
Reporting into the finance team, you will play a key role in ensuring customer accounts are accurately maintained and payments are received and allocated promptly. You'll be working with customers from around the world across multiple currencies, and the role goes well beyond routine accounts receivable. You'll also liaise with sales and marketing colleagues, resolve customer queries, produce reports, and get involved in wider business projects.
