Accounts Assistant to Assistant Accountant

Manchester City Centre

£25,000 – £28,000

This is the role which will take you from Accounts Assistant to Assistant Accountant in as quickly as 6 months!

It’s the perfect position for an individual who has gained experience in transactional finance but has reached “the peak” at their current company and can so no room for development.

The Finance Manager is absolutely fantastic; he is not protective of his workload, he’s not precious about letting go of month-end and management accounts tasks – in fact, he’s more than happy to pass on his knowledge and expertise.

You must be accomplished in transactional finance; this is a pre-requisite. With these foundations, the FM will open the floor to you and your development. Want exposure into reporting? Great, he’ll show you the ropes. Want more involved in the management accounts pack? Perfect, he’ll make sure you get it!

Whether this takes 6 months, 12 months or 2 years – there’s no set timeline mapped out; it’s down to you. If you’re a go-getter then great but if you’d rather progress organically, this is also fine.

In terms of company culture, they are relaxed, flexible and really encourage work/ life balance – in fact, no one is expected to work beyond their 37.5 hours a week – as the FM told me, “life is too short!

This is a really vibrant workplace with top of the range offices next to the marina in Ancoats; the offices are reflective of the team – fun, outgoing and buzzing! There’s annual summer & Christmas parties, weekends away, wellbeing courses and milestone celebrations; the Directors truly do want to look after your personally and professionally.

I am interviewing for this role immediately so please submit your CV to:
