Accounts Assistant

Hull, East Yorkshire

£20,000 to £23,000 + Benefits

My client, is a successful growing business and the leading manufacturer of fabricated metal products for a number of specialist sectors. They provide a range of innovative solutions and work closely with a relatively small number of high profile customers to deliver first class products to the UK market.

You will spend 60% of your time logging, and processing for approval, all purchase invoices, as well as resolving all purchase invoice and supplier queries. You will process the automated supplier payment runs and carry out the supplier statement reconciliations. You will also work with internal staff and suppliers to reduce the numbers of purchase invoices and payment runs by identifying and rationalising inefficiencies that have accumulated over the years.

40% of your time will be spent assisting with other duties within the finance function, which has a total of five staff. This will include processing credit card expenses, sales ledger and credit control responsibility for the six main customers, assistance with various month end processes including overhead analysis and other ad-hoc duties.

The role involves significant liaison with, and chasing of, internal staff and suppliers. This has to be done in a determined but productive manner, and it is important that you have the interpersonal skills required to cajole people into happily providing information, on an ongoing basis.

This role requires someone who pays meticulous attention to detail and has the focus required to achieve 100% accuracy first time, every time.

The role is suitable for someone, possibly studying for AAT, with excellent administrative or accounts experience gained in a fast moving environment, where accuracy is vital. You must have very good Excel skills, be familiar with computerised accounting systems, and be self-motivated with the ability to work on your own initiative.
