This is a fascinating role with a lot of scope! This organisation are looking to recruit an Assistant Accountant to support their Swansea finance team. On the outskirts of the city, in a new, purpose built facility..... superbly appointed with parking and lunch options on site and immediately adjacent, your role will be hybrid (once you are fully set up and induction into the team has taken place) and will allow you to work from home 1 or 2 days a week in line with the business needs. We are considering candidates from a range of backgrounds and experiences; if you are studying CIMA or ACCA, then you will come in at the top of the salary bracket......at about 28-30K. Qualifications aren't the be-all/end-all, but you must have really robust understanding of the principles of transactional finance and management accounts (with all the technical jargon that goes with it!).....so this role is not entry level.Once "up and running" your role will likely encompass the following;
- Assisting in the preparation of

- Supporting the year-end process.

As you can see, this role offers unparalleled exposure to duties and experiences that will really boost your Accounting career. You will need to have a lot of initiative and drive; the urge to drive improvements and streamline processes will be familiar to you! You must also be fairly IT savvy...... confident and capable with MS Excel (spreadsheets as a minimum, V-lookups and Pivot Tables ideally) and happy to "have a go" with other applications. You will also be responsible for providing some management support to junior members of the finance team, so you need to be confident in this area, with some experience in providing guidance for direct reports..... even if not in a finance setting!
If this role is calling your name, apply. And if you want to discuss the role confidentially, please call Emma Lewis on 01792 642 042. We can talk about this role, your skills and experience and discuss if the two are a good match.
I look forward to hearing from you!
