Assistant Accountant
Based in Watford, Hertfordshire, our well recognised retail client is looking for a part qualified accountant to join them for an initial 2 month temporary assignment as an Assistant Accountant.
This job would suit an immediately available ACA, ACCA or CIMA part qualified studier to be responsible for interrogating the balance sheet reconciliation accounts to ensure that all duplicate invoices are highlighted and that relevant accruals are in place for invoices not received.
This is a fast moving retail business, well-regarded in its industry and continuing to maintain its market leading position. Due to year end and an expansion of the business in 2016, an extra pair of hands is needed in the finance team to assist in clearing a backlog in the reconciliations as the team continues to work on business as usual.
The successful individual will be immediately available with strong financial accounting or month end close experience. Ideally someone would have completed some exams in ACA, ACCA or CIMA and most likely still be studying but this isn't essential. Strong Excel skills are important and ideally experience of working in a large corporate business as opposed to a local SME (small or medium enterprise). This individual must enjoy digging into the detail, having good attention to detail and striving to find and fix issues. Knowledge of the retail sector isn't essential but would be advantageous.
Duties will include:
- Highlighting and confirming duplicate invoices.
- Confirming gaps in invoices where accruals are required.
- Working through invoices under investigation to identify next steps for resolution.
- Producing journals to correct/reassign data.
- Resolving/discussing queries with the relevant teams.
Every application will receive a response as this is the recognised working practice at MRK Associates.
