Assistant Accountant Job at London Full Time

Assistant Accountant

London | Hybrid | 6 Month Contract | £200 – £300 Day Rate | Fast Growing Healthcare Business

This business is at that awkward but exciting stage of growth where complexity has increased quickly, but the finance processes and systems are still catching up.

Which means they need someone who can come in, get stuck in quickly and help steady the ship operationally.

There’s a lot happening across inventory allocation, invoice processing, AP/AR workflows, consignment stock reporting and manual matching work. The finance team needs an experienced pair of hands who is comfortable operating in busy SME environments and helping improve day-to-day finance operations.

This isn’t a polished corporate environment with huge teams and layers of process.

It’s a growing business where people work collaboratively, solve problems quickly and help wherever needed.

The successful person will play a key role supporting transactional accounting, finance administration and reporting across the business while also helping improve workflows and operational processes.

The Role

You’ll support the wider finance and operations teams across several core areas of the business including:

• Purchase ledger and invoice processing
• AP and AR support
• Supplier reconciliations
• Inventory allocation and stock reporting
• Matching inventory costs and sales activity
• Consignment stock tracking
• Supporting finance administration and reporting
• Assisting month-end activity
• Helping improve finance workflows and processes
• Supporting operational finance across the wider business
• Assisting with ERP and systems-related improvement work where needed

This role is very hands on and would suit someone who enjoys improving structure inside scaling businesses.

What They’re Looking For

• Strong transactional finance experience
• Previous Assistant Accountant or operational finance experience
• Comfortable working in fast paced SME environments
• Strong attention to detail
• Good Excel skills
• Someone proactive and adaptable
• Experience supporting inventory or stock-led businesses would be beneficial
• Confident managing finance admin and reporting workloads
• Someone happy rolling their sleeves up and helping where needed

The Bits People Care About

• 6 month day rate contract
• £200 – £300 per day
• Hybrid working – London
• Growing healthcare/pharma business
• Fast paced operational environment
• Broad finance exposure
• Strong collaborative culture
• Opportunity to help improve processes during a key growth stage
