About the Accounts and Admin Assistant role:

Our Accounts team is truly at the heart of our company, ensuring that financial processes run smoothly across our entire portfolio of hospitality businesses. You will be working alongside a small but hardworking team where support and collaboration are key

While this is an accounts position, the role is largely focused on purchase ledger tasks and assisting with the administrative elements of the department. Because of the strong administrative focus, previous accounts experience is not necessarily required - we are looking for the right person with the right

A breakdown of typical duties done in a day:

We operate in a fast-paced environment, so you’ll need to be ready to juggle priorities. Your typical day will involve:

• Managing Invoices: Downloading invoices, saving them as PDF files, and ensuring VAT receipts are received for purchases.
• Processing: Using Microsoft Excel and other systems to put together invoice batch headers for manager sign-off.
• Payment Runs: following agreed processes and working with the team to ensure these are correct and sent on time.
• Supplier Relations: Sending remittances to suppliers, checking supplier statements, and following up on queries via phone and email to ensure everything is processed correctly.
• General Admin: monitoring the accounts inbox, answering the phone, and submitting energy readings for meters across the company to ensure accurate bills.
• Team Support: Completing occasional additional tasks to provide holiday cover within the team and assisting colleagues with ad hoc admin tasks across the wider company.

In short this is a multi-faceted role where your contribution to the team effort will ensure deadlines are met and the department runs smoothly. 

About you:

We are looking for a friendly and fun team player who is willing to get stuck in. You don't need to be a finance wizard yet, but you do need to understand the importance of accuracy in your work.

Ideally, you will be:

• Highly Organised: You have excellent admin skills and can organise your time effectively to meet agreed deadlines.
• Detail-Oriented: You work with high standards, consistency, and great attention to detail.
• Independent & Collaborative: You are capable of working on tasks independently but also know how to act as a good team player to support your colleagues.
• Adaptable: You are a hard worker who is comfortable handling a busy workload in a fast-paced environment.
• Respectful: You are ready to contribute to a culture that is respectful and supportive of business goals

Ideally, you'll have a degree or A-levels in a numerical field and some experience working in previous admin or finance/accounting roles.  Any accounting or financial qualifications you have, or are studying for, would be an additional bonus! Some experience in hospitality would also be an advantage as understanding the industry is certainly useful for this role.
