Job Details

Opportunity for transactional finance assistant to take the next step; GL Analysis and Management Accounting


Assistant/Trainee Management Accountant
Permanent + Full Time
Swansea
£18-20K+ for the right person!

Firstly, this role isn't an entry level role.....in order to be selected for interview, you will need a really thorough exposure to transactional finance and a great understanding of the double entry bookkeeping process with experience! In order to analyse the day to day, you have to be "au fait" with the day to day! So hands on experience with the sales/ purchase ledgers is a real "must have" as you will occasionally provide cover and support....this is a team that pulls together! You will also need to love the reconciliation process and have such an eye for detail that you can spot an anomaly from a hundred paces!

From this point on; the role gets very exciting; there will be analysis of the nominal ledger (amongst other things), the opportunity to maintain the register of fixed assets and lots of exposure to an ERP/MRP system; all of this is going to mean that you will need to be very confident with IT systems.....and a competent user of Microsoft Excel. You will need to be able to use spreadsheets and feel confident using the program as a means to extract and export information!

We've talked about experience; now we need to talk about training; due to the structure of the finance team and the progression plan which is already in place, I am ideally looking for a QBE (I suggest that ideally you will have had a strong mentor in previous roles who will have given you a good understanding of the technicalities of finance) or an AAT studier/qualified accounts assistant. For an ACCA part qual, or a graduate with lots of ACCA exemptions, this role will not give you the progression you need at the pace you want.....your accountancy clock is already ticking so you need to be mindful of that...... they aren't really looking for someone at your level right now (but give me a call on the number below; I have a lot of things happening at your level too!)

This is a superb role; it's a real opportunity to make the step away from the transactional stuff and into the realms of reporting and analysis. If you want to know more, please apply online or call Emma Lewis on 01792 642042 for further details.
