Here’s The Facts About The Role

As an Assistant Accountant, you’ll provide support and assist with management and financial accounting to the business. You’ll primarily be assigned to a specialism (customer operations, property services, property investment, development, central services) where you’ll report to the Senior Accountant and support them and the Management Accountants in the production of monthly accounts packs, KPI data and variance analysis.

The role requires a strong analytical ability able to work independently in reviewing actual performance, preparing and processing accounting journals, and working with the team to ensure all accounting transactions are processed, deadlines and monthly reporting timetable met.
