We are a small local company that values efficiency, accuracy, strong attention to detail, and a collaborative working environment. We are looking to expand our friendly team of nine who are logical thinkers, have strong numeracy, excellent multitasking experience, are detail-oriented, possess very good organisational skills, can remain calm in challenging situations, and are motivated to consistently meet deadlines.

We supply general bookkeeping services in a niche industry, having clients all over the UK and USA. In addition to general bookkeeping, we also process our clients' weekly sales reports, pay their contractors, compile other Excel-based reporting, and work with them on break-even and cash flow forecasting, all of which must meet various weekly deadlines.

The ideal candidate would have their own transport as, although we are based on a busy main Telford road, we are not on a direct bus or train route.

As an Accounts Assistant, your duties would include:

• Processing supplier invoices and expense receipts/claims through Dext and publishing into QuickBooks.
• Creating sales invoices in QuickBooks.
• Completing bank reconciliations in QuickBooks, which can often include contra payments, processing credit card statements/receipts, and balancing through QuickBooks.
• Checking entries in QuickBooks that others may have processed to ensure that invoices, both sales and purchases, have been correctly categorised and VAT has been entered correctly.
• Compiling break-even analyses.
• Monitoring cash flows.

Accounts Assistant Requirements:

• The candidate must have excellent QuickBooks experience, including working with various locations/departments to create multiple profit & loss and other reports.
• Good knowledge of VAT, including what can be reclaimed and what cannot.
• Extended Excel, cash flow, and budgeting experience is essential.
• Knowledge of Dext would be a great advantage but is not a necessity as training can be provided.
• Enjoy working to deadlines in a fast-paced environment, as we have weekly deadlines that must be met.
• Must be able to communicate with clients at all levels, have patience, and possess a good sense of humour.

Offering the following benefits:

• Challenging and varied career in a fast-moving environment.
• A good team of people to work with; a good sense of humour is a must.
• 28 days holiday per year, which includes the 8 statutory days.
• Bupa health insurance after 12 months.

Candidates may be required to attend occasional client meetings, which could include a weekend, but a day off in lieu would be given if weekends are involved.
