Accounts Assistant

Are you a skilled Accounts Assistant looking for your next step in the East Midlands? We’re hiring an experienced Accounts professional to join a fast-paced and growing business within the construction and manufacturing sector.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a busy finance environment, with a strong focus on accuracy, organisation and providing support across the wider accounts function.

(Please note: candidates outside of construction or manufacturing will also be considered)

Our client is a well-established and expanding organisation operating in the construction and manufacturing industries. Known for its collaborative culture and commitment to quality, the company is seeking to strengthen its finance team to support continued growth.
