What I'm looking for

I seek a Finance Officer or Senior Accounts Assistant role offering hybrid/remote flexibility, opportunities to own reconciliations, VAT, payroll and audit tasks, and scope to progress toward full ACCA qualification.

I am an ACCA part‑qualified finance professional with hands‑on experience across industry and practice environments, currently working as an Accounts Assistant. I have supported month‑end close, intercompany accounting, VAT returns, payroll (RTI) and balance sheet reconciliations using Sage 50, Xero, QuickBooks and Excel.

In my current role I perform group bank and balance sheet reconciliations, manage intercompany reconciliations, process supplier and sales invoices, prepare VAT returns, post month‑end journals and assist with audit queries. Previously I worked on accounts payable processes, payment runs and management accounts support in both practice and corporate settings.

I am detail‑focused, reliable and confident working independently or within teams, seeking a Finance Officer or Senior Accounts Assistant role with flexibility for hybrid or remote working to continue developing technical accounting skills and contribute to accurate financial reporting.
