Working Pattern: Office-based initially, with potential for hybrid working after probation
We're working with a successful and growing business in Potters Bar that's looking to add an experienced Accounts Assistant to their finance team. This is initially a 6-month contract to support a busy period, but there's a very strong chance it could turn permanent for the right person.

* Posting and reconciling intercompany transactions
* Preparing and reconciling fixed asset schedules; posting depreciation
* Calculating franchise payments and month-end accruals
* Responding to finance queries from operations
* Submitting monthly reports to the Office for National Statistics
* Supporting process improvements as the business upgrades its ERP system
* Providing general support to the wider finance team as required
What we're looking for:
* Minimum 4 years' experience in a similar finance role
* AAT Level 3 qualified (or equivalent experience)
* Strong attention to detail and ability to work across multiple ledgers
* Experience with NetSuite is a bonus
* DBS check required (or willingness to complete one)
Why this could be a great move:
* Varied role with exposure to different areas of finance
* Friendly and supportive team environment
* Strong potential for a permanent offer after the initial contract
* Office-based to start, with scope for hybrid working once probation is passed
