- Posting accruals and prepayments 

- Assist the wider finance team as and when required 

For this role we seek a motivated and career driven Assistant/Financial Accountant with at least two years of recently gained experience in a similar capacity, or moving from practice to industry. Candidates may be part/fully AAT/professionally qualified or suitably qualified through vocational experience.
