About Yorkshire Design Group
Yorkshire Design Group is an established, family-owned property business with over 35 years' experience in the development, regeneration, and management of commercial property in Leeds. With a varied portfolio of properties and interests across two group companies, we are looking for an experienced Accounts Assistant / Bookkeeper to take responsibility for the day-to-day accounting and financial administration of the business.
This is an interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety and responsibility that comes with working within a smaller, established organization. You will work closely with the company's external accountant while becoming a key point of contact for day-to-day financial matters.
Your Role
The position covers a broad range of transactional accounts and bookkeeping responsibilities, with particular involvement in the financial administration of our managed properties. Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:
- Maintaining accurate day-to-day accounts across two group companies
- Raising sales invoices and processing tenant recharges
- Managing purchase ledger and supplier invoices
- Monitoring outstanding balances and chasing debtors
- Maintaining accurate tenant accounts and financial records
- Processing costs associated with landlords, utilities, and service charges
- Dealing with invoices from contractors and other suppliers
- Completing bank reconciliations
- Maintaining accounting records within Sage
- Investigating and resolving day-to-day accounts queries
- Liaising with tenants, suppliers, landlords, and contractors where required
- Working closely with the external accountant and providing financial information as required
- Supporting year-end accounting processes
- Assisting with other finance and accounts administration across the group
