Are you a part-qualified accountant ready to take real ownership of month-end and reporting? Do you want to broaden your experience and build towards qualifying in a team that backs your progression?
We Do Group are hiring an Assistant Management Accountant for a growing specialist recruitment business in London. This is a broad role at the heart of the finance team, owning a real chunk of the month-end close, the management accounts, and the reporting that helps the business make good decisions.
It suits an early stage studier/part-qualified accountant who already has some month-end exposure and wants to round out their experience across reporting, reconciliations, and working with non-finance colleagues. There's a genuine path here too - clear progression towards a fully qualified, business-partnering role.
WISH LIST
• Existing finance experience, ideally with some exams already passed
• Exposure to month-end, reconciliations and journals
• Comfortable explaining the numbers to non-finance colleagues, or ready to grow into it
THE ROLE
• Support the month-end close, including expense allocation, intercompany recharges and revenue reporting
• Prepare and produce accurate monthly management accounts and reporting packs to deadline
• Perform and review account reconciliations and journals to balance sheet and P&L level
• Support the annual statutory audit, gathering documentation and answering queries
• Support annual budgeting and periodic reforecasting
• Report financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues (a key part of the role)
• Process general accounting entries (AP, AR, bank recs and daily banking)
• Update the weekly cash flow, working capital and trends
• Reconcile revenue weekly between the CRM and the accounting system
• Maintain the general ledger, keeping it accurate and complete
• Support ad-hoc finance projects and analysis as required
• Work closely with the finance team to keep priorities and reporting on track
YOUR PROFILE
• Early stage studier/part-qualified accountant (ACCA or CIMA), with some exams passed
• Effective communicator - written and verbal
• Good working knowledge of MS Excel (pivots, lookups, sumifs)
• Experience supporting month-end close, reconciliations and journals
• Comfortable working across finance and with non-finance colleagues
• Any exposure to Xero or Workday Adaptive Planning is a bonus, not essential
SALARY & BENEFITS
• £38,000–£43,000 + discretionary bonus
• London: 3 days in the office (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday), 2 from home
• Permanent role
• Full study support towards ACCA or CIMA
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Clear progression towards a fully qualified role
