Assistant Accountant

We’re working with a well-established business in Rotherham that’s looking to bring an Assistant Accountant into their growing finance team.

This is a genuinely good opportunity for someone who wants more than just transactional work - you’ll get exposure across the accounts function and the chance to build on your month-end and reporting experience.

The role

You’ll support the Finance Manager and wider team in keeping everything running smoothly day-to-day, while also getting involved in the bigger picture.

Key responsibilities include:

• Assisting with monthly management accounts preparation
• Posting journals including accruals and prepayments
• Balance sheet reconciliations
• Supporting month-end and year-end processes
• Managing elements of purchase ledger and supplier payments
• Assisting with VAT returns and compliance tasks
• Producing reports and supporting financial analysis
• Identifying and improving existing processes

What we’re looking for

• Previous experience in an Assistant Accountant / Accounts Assistant role preferred, but will consider graduates
• Strong understanding of core finance processes (journals, reconciliations, month-end)
• Accounting or related degree preferred
• Good Excel skills
• Someone organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a busy environment

What’s on offer

• Salary up to £32,000 depending on experience
• Study support
• Clear progression opportunities
• Supportive and down-to-earth team culture
• Exposure to a broad finance role, not just transactional work

Why this role?

This isn’t one where you’ll be stuck doing the same thing every day - there’s real scope to learn, get involved, and progress as the business grows.
