Assistant Accountant

We’re working with a well-established business in Rotherham that’s looking to bring an Assistant Accountant into their growing finance team.

This is a genuinely good opportunity for someone who wants more than just transactional work - you’ll get exposure across the accounts function and the chance to build on your month-end and reporting experience.

The role

You’ll support the Finance Manager and wider team in keeping everything running smoothly day-to-day, while also getting involved in the bigger picture.

Key responsibilities include:

Assisting with monthly management accounts preparation

Posting journals including accruals and prepayments

Balance sheet reconciliations

Supporting month-end and year-end processes

Managing elements of purchase ledger and supplier payments

Assisting with VAT returns and compliance tasks

Producing reports and supporting financial analysis

Identifying and improving existing processes

What we’re looking for

Previous experience in an Assistant Accountant / Accounts Assistant role preferred, but will consider graduates

Strong understanding of core finance processes (journals, reconciliations, month-end)

Accounting or related degree preferred

Good Excel skills

Someone organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a busy environment

What’s on offer

Salary up to £32,000 depending on experience

Study support

Clear progression opportunities

Supportive and down-to-earth team culture

Exposure to a broad finance role, not just transactional work

Why this role?

This isn’t one where you’ll be stuck doing the same thing every day - there’s real scope to learn, get involved, and progress as the business grows
