Financial Accounts Assistant
Location: Ipswich, Suffolk
Salary: Up to £35,000 depending on experience and qualifications
A practice background is essential for this role.
We are working with a well-established business that is looking to add a Financial Accounts Assistant to its finance team. This is a permanent opportunity for someone who has trained and developed within an accountancy practice and is looking to bring that skill set into a varied, client-focused role.
Because the position covers accounts production across a broad portfolio of clients, previous experience gained in practice is genuinely essential. You will already be comfortable working across different entity types and preparing accounts to a high standard with limited hand-holding.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you will be doing:
- Accounts production for a range of clients, supported by a qualified accountant
- Preparing monthly, quarterly and annual management accounts for various entity types including partnerships, sole traders, limited companies and LLPs
- Calculating accruals and prepayments, profit and loss analysis, gross margin reconciliations and other balance sheet reconciliations
- Preparing budgets, cashflow forecasts and variance analysis for selected clients
- Bookkeeping duties for a small number of clients, including processing purchase invoices, raising sales invoices, month-end payments, bank reconciliations and VAT returns
- Liaising directly with managers and clients as appropriate
