Jobs in Aldermaston

We're working on a confidential basis with a well-established business to find an Accounts Assistant who enjoys getting the detail right and wants a proper say in how the finance function runs.

This is a hands-on role in a busy team. You'll share responsibility for accounts payable, keep the records clean and accurate, and get genuinely involved in month-end. It suits someone who likes owning their work, tends to spot the discrepancies before anyone else does, and prefers variety over one narrow lane.

What you'll be doing

Running the accounts payable function alongside a colleague, including preparing and processing payment runs

Processing supplier invoices accurately and making sure creditors are paid on time

Keeping financial spreadsheets and accounting records up to date

Reviewing and reconciling employee expense claims in line with company policy

Supporting month-end, including reconciliations and reporting

Administering company fuel card records and transactions

Providing finance and admin support to the wider team, and picking up ad hoc tasks as they arise

Who this will suit

Someone with experience in accounts payable, finance or a similar accounting role

Ideally AAT qualified or studying towards it, or with equivalent experience, and confident with double-entry, accruals and prepayments

Strong on Excel, including Pivot Tables and SUMIFS

Comfortable with accounting software, ideally Sage

Organised, accurate and calm under a deadline, with a good eye for numbers that don't quite add up

Happy working independently, but a real team player when it counts
