Accounts Assistant - Reconciliations

Trinity House Group Ltd

I'm recruiting for an Accounts Assistant to join an established finance team on a 12-month maternity cover basis. This is a varied role with a strong focus on bank reconciliations, discrepancy investigation, supplier rebates and process improvement.
It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys getting into the detail, solving problems and understanding why something doesn't balance, rather than simply ticking off reconciliations. You'll also have the opportunity to improve and develop processes within a role that is still evolving.

What you will be doing:
  • Completing regular bank reconciliations, ensuring accounts are accurate and differences are investigated and resolved
  • Investigating discrepancies and identifying the root cause of issues rather than simply correcting them
  • Providing cover and support for the Team Leader, including query management
  • Supporting month-end reconciliations and resolving any queries that arise
  • Managing and reconciling supplier rebate income, ensuring amounts owed are chased and collected in line with agreed terms
  • Investigating and resolving rebate reconciliation differences, working closely with Accounts Payable where debit notes or related queries arise
  • Supporting supplier onboarding and associated reconciliation activity
  • Raising invoices for promotions, rate cards, supplier portal charges and one-off requests
  • Completing deposit account reconciliations and investigating any variances
  • Looking at existing processes and controls, identifying opportunities to improve them and helping to implement more effective ways of working
  • Working with internal teams and external stakeholders to resolve queries and keep financial information accurate

What we need from you:
  • Have previously worked in finance, with a focus around complex reconciliations
  • Strong on Excel and comfortable working with financial data
  • Naturally methodical and detail-focused, with a high level of accuracy
  • A confident problem solver who enjoys investigating discrepancies and finding the reason behind them
  • Comfortable taking ownership and using their initiative when something needs investigating or improving
  • Confident communicating with both internal teams and external stakeholders

Previous supplier rebate experience would be beneficial but isn't essential. More important is having a solid understanding of reconciliations and financial processes, alongside the ability to learn quickly and take ownership.

The role:
  • 12-month maternity cover
  • Hybrid working – 3 days in the office / 2 days from home
  • Opportunity to take ownership of processes and make improvements within a developing area of the finance function
  • Potential for the role to become permanent, depending on the wider team structure
