Job Description

We're working with a dynamic and growing business based in Liverpool that's looking for a proactive Accounts Assistant to take ownership of its day-to-day finance function while also keeping the office ticking over smoothly. This is a standalone role, so we're looking for someone who's comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck into everything from invoice processing to liaising with suppliers and supporting the wider team.

It's an exciting time to join and there's plenty of opportunity to help shape better processes and really make the role your own.

What you'll be getting involved in:

• Processing purchase and sales invoices accurately and efficiently
• Keeping on top of credit control to ensure timely payments
• Reconciling supplier statements and daily bank transactions
• Assisting with management accounts and financial reports
• Supporting with VAT returns (a good grasp of Excel will help here!)
• Managing general office admin - everything from ordering supplies to liaising with suppliers and customers
• Working closely with the Operations Manager and external accountants
• Helping to streamline processes during the finance system transition

• Solid experience in a similar Accounts Assistant role and comfortable working on your own initiative
• Xero knowledge is a big plus
• Someone who's organised, self-sufficient and able to manage their own workload
• A team player who's happy to pitch in wherever needed
• Adaptable and comfortable working in a business that's evolving and growing

• Competitive salary up to £30k
• Opportunity to work in a supportive and stable environment.
• Potential for career growth within the accounting and finance department.

If you are based in Liverpool and eager to take your next step as an Accounts Assistant in the Retail industry, we encourage you to apply.
