Accounts Assistant in York - Headstar

This is one of those finance roles where the detail really matters.

It's not just ticking boxes and being hidden away at the end of a process. It sits right in the middle of how a complex, high-performing organisation actually works.

You'll be working within a close-knit Finance team supporting a large, multi-site operation.

If you're organised, good with numbers, and proud of getting things right, this will suit you down to the ground.

What you'll be doing:

You'll be involved across the full breadth of transactional and reporting finance, including:

• Reconciliations, journals and financial reporting for internal stakeholders
• Processing intercompany transactions
• Monitoring budget spend and producing reports for budget holders
• Submitting payments via BACS and one-off bank payments
• Providing purchase ledger cover during holidays and absence
• Maintain accurate invoicing and student/customer account records
• Prepare and issue invoices, advance fee illustrations and payment plans
• Handle queries, resolve disputes and proactively chase overdue payments
• Support invoice approvals and respond to internal queries
• Reconcile refunds and manage customer queries
• Management accounts preparation and data collection

There'll be the odd "other duty" that comes with being a trusted pair of hands in a finance team.

What you'll bring:

• This role needs someone solid, reliable and switched on.
• Previous experience in a finance or accounts role (essential)
• Good Excel skills - functions and formulas, not just clicking auto sum
• A* accuracy and attention to detail
• The ability to juggle deadlines without losing your cool
• AAT Level 3 or qualified by experience

What will you get in return?

• An annual salary of up to £29k
• 28 days annual leave (rising with years of service)
• The opportunity for internal development and progression
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
• Regular social events
