Job Title: Assistant Accountant - Rewards ReconciliationsReports To: Management Accountant

A Bit About Our Client

Picture this: a dynamic, fast-paced sales promotion agency that dishes out over £50M in rewards every year—cash, vouchers, fancy gadgets - you name it! With a client list full of big-name brands, they make sure customers get their well-earned rewards on time and without a hitch. But with great rewards come great responsibilities (and lots of numbers to keep track of!), which is where you come in.

The Role

They are on the hunt for a super-organized, detail-obsessed Assistant Accountant to join the finance team, with a laser focus on reconciliations. Think of yourself as the glue that holds the numbers together - making sure every penny is where it should be, every invoice is spot-on, and every reward payment is accounted for.

What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Being Fabulous)

Reconciliation Wizardry

• Match, check, and double-check client funding accounts, ensuring everything is recorded perfectly.
• Keep a watchful eye on escrow balances, making sure the money is exactly where it needs to be before payments go out.
• Solve financial mysteries - investigate discrepancies like a detective with a calculator.
• Track and reconcile voucher and stock-based rewards (because no one wants to promise a reward that’s not there!).
• Wrap things up neatly at the end of each promotion - either refunding excess funds or sending that final invoice.

Keeping the Cash Flowing

• Raise invoices for reward funding (and chase up payments when needed—politely but firmly!).
• Record and allocate incoming funds with precision - no missing pennies on your watch.
• Work with credit control to make sure clients pay up on time.

Teamwork & Transformation

• Join forces with Customer Services, keeping them updated on funding and reconciliations.
• Get stuck into the Rewards transformation project, helping to improve processes and make finance slicker, faster, and more fabulous.
• Support the finance team during annual audits, answering queries like a pro.

What We’re Looking For

• A reconciliation whizz with at least 3 years of accounting experience, ideally in a project-based business.
• A detail-obsessed number cruncher who loves a good spreadsheet.
• Excel skills? Essential. Power BI? A lovely bonus!
• A natural problem solver who spots financial oddities a mile off.
• A strong communicator who can chat finance without making people’s eyes glaze over.
• Someone happy working solo but also a great team player.
• Studying towards CIMA or ACCA? Even better!
• Able to be in the Hammersmith WeWork office at least 3 days a week (because let’s be honest, coffee tastes better in good company).

Why You’ll Love It

This is not your run-of-the-mill finance role—it’s fast-paced, full of variety, and a chance to really make a difference. If you love untangling financial puzzles, keeping things running like clockwork, and working with a cracking team, then we’d love to hear from you!
