SRM Recruitment are supporting a scaling real estate organisation to recruit a Finance Assistant / Assistant Accountant role, this is a broad role but core accountabilities are focused on Accounts Recievable.
Our client would really love someone that naturally comfortable to give new things a go but will ask questions and challenge existing processes. Similarly they'd probably prefer a candidate used to (is working in) a smaller business with the breadth of challenges and responsibilties this brings. They want someone that will challenge the current processes and be able to make changes, as opposed to following a process/script that has been done before. There is a decent volume of transactions however the volume is only going to continue to grow. Attention to detail wise they need somebody that can follow a coding sheet and be able to take a step back and pick up when something doesn't look right.
The role essential is a central role supporting the both Head Office and Operations. Key purpose is to ensure that all areas of group / operational accounts receivable are accurate and reconciled in a timely manner. Support the business with finance-Cubigo related issues.
