Sewell Wallis are working on a rare opportunity for an experienced Assistant Accountant to join a sought-after and well-known business that can offer a clear progression path and the opportunity to gain exposure to the full management accounts process within a large, successful business.

Based in Central Leeds, the business has experienced a lot of change and development over recent years and is currently in the process of implementing a new finance system, so it's a great time to join them whilst they have plenty of new projects on the go.

They experience low turnover, which says a lot about the business as a whole, and they are looking for someone to develop, so whilst experience of accruals, prepayments, journals and balance sheet reconciliations is a must, experience beyond this can be taught.

Producing accruals, prepayments and journals.
Assisting with cash-flow forecasting.
Reconciling bank statements and identifying and logging fixed assets.
Assisting with nominal ledger including processing journals and month-end adjustments.
Performing balance sheet reconciliations and VAT returns.
Review processes and suggest/ implement improved ways of working.
Provide support during the audit process.
Assist the FC when required. What skills are we looking for?

Part-Qualified CIMA or ACCA.
Excellent Excel and analytical skills.
Self-motivated and able to work efficiently independently and as a team
Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
A willingness to learn.
Ambitious with a desire to progress. What's on offer?
