Looking for your next step in finance? 🚀 This is a brilliant chance to join a growing healthcare business in Edgbaston who are expanding their finance team - and they want someone just like you! If you're currently working in accounts payable, have got to grips with invoices, queries and reconciliations, and recently had a taste of accruals, prepayments, or month-end, this is your opportunity to take that leap into an Assistant Management Accountant role.

You'll join a supportive, friendly team that's big enough to keep things varied, but small enough that your role won't be boxed in. Think of it as a "step-up" role: you'll still use your AP experience, but you'll also get exposure to the more exciting management accounts side - all with the backing of a Group Financial Controller who loves developing people who show initiative. This is a temporary-to-permanent position, with hybrid working (3 days in the office, 2 from home) and study support once permanent. It's fast-paced, it's hands-on, and it's the perfect role if you're ambitious and want to grow.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Process high volumes of invoices accurately and efficiently.
  • Reconcile supplier statements and resolve any outstanding discrepancies.
  • Handle supplier queries, ensuring prompt and professional resolution.
  • Support accruals and prepayments as part of the month-end process.
  • Assist with reconciliations and provide accurate data for reporting.
  • Prepare and maintain records to support financial reporting requirements.
  • Liaise with internal teams and suppliers to keep payments on track.
  • Contribute to payment runs and ensure deadlines are met.
  • Get involved in ad-hoc finance projects and tasks as your knowledge grows.

Candidate Attributes and Skills:

  • Experience in accounts payable (invoice processing, reconciliations, supplier statements).
  • Some exposure to management accounts (e.g. accruals, prepayments, month-end) and keen to learn more.
  • Proactive and ambitious, with the confidence to get involved and take on new challenges.
  • Strong Excel skills and comfortable handling data.
  • Available immediately or on a short notice period.

Benefits:

  • Step up from AP into Assistant Management Accountant.
  • Hybrid working - 3 days in office, 2 from home.
  • Temporary-to-permanent role with study support once permanent.
  • Clear progression within 12-18 months into a more senior role.
  • Supportive manager who encourages growth (no spoon-feeding, but plenty of opportunity if you want it!).

If you're an AP clerk looking for that next step, this is your chance to break into management accounts and build a career you'll be proud of. Apply today and make it happen ✨
