Assistant Accountant + Study Support

Stockport

£25,000 – £28,000

This role will give you a direct route to becoming a Finance Manager with no prerequisite to have existing management accounts experience.

All they are asking for is an individual who has accomplished ledger accounting, has experience in month-end close but is restricted to any further development at their current company.

You will report directly to the FM who is working towards becoming FD in the next 3-5 years therefore it will be this position that will be first in line to be his successor.

Reason being, they have a completely competent and self-sufficient ledger team and a Trainee Accountant who is progressing well, but they need someone in the team to support with producing the monthly management accounts and reporting schedules including P&L and cash flow.

This isn’t a role with false promises; you won’t be sold the dream and then brought in to be stuck on ledger accounting as this is well looked after; you can concentrate on building up experience which is relevant to the ACCA/ CIMA qualification (the business would like to take someone who is who AAT Qualified or at early stages of ACCA/ CIMA)

There is a development plan for this role so you’ll have clear steps marked out for where you can be in 5 years and how you can achieve this but you will also have 6 monthly appraisals with the FM so you can chat through your progress, discuss any additional training you may need and then plan for the next 6 months.

Truly an impressive business with an actual structure to their training and development of staff so both parties know exactly where they stand and what can be achieved.

If this sounds like the sort of set up, you’re looking for from your next company, please submit your CV to rebecca@platinumrecruits.co.uk to be considered.
