Accounts Assistant

Accounts Assistant

Yeovil | Hybrid (4 days in office) | £27,000 – £33,000 per annum

Looking for a finance role where you can learn, grow and make a real difference?

The Opportunity

Right Pear is partnering with an established Yeovil-based business to recruit an Accounts Assistant into its finance team on a permanent, full-time basis.

The business is going through an exciting period of investment and development, including a review of how its finance function works and where processes can be improved. That makes this a great time to join. You’ll be part of a small, supportive team with access to experienced senior finance professionals, and you’ll have the chance to shape how things are done rather than just follow a set routine.

This role suits someone early in their finance career who has a solid technical foundation and wants to keep building on it.

The Role

You’ll support the day-to-day running of the finance function, working closely with the wider finance team.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Processing and posting transactions accurately in the accounting system
• Preparing and reviewing reconciliations, including balance sheet reconciliations
• Supporting month-end processes and the preparation of management information
• Building and maintaining Excel workbooks, with linked worksheets and formula-driven reporting
• Checking work carefully for accuracy and resolving discrepancies
• Following structured finance processes and suggesting ways to improve them
• Helping the business make better use of its systems and data as the finance function develops

About You

We’re keen to speak with detail-focused finance professionals who enjoy getting things right and want to grow their careers.

You’ll ideally have:

• AAT qualified or an equivalent background.
• Experience using Xero (Sage 50 experience is also useful)
• Strong Excel skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• Good verbal communication skills and confidence working with colleagues across the business
• The ability to commute to Yeovil four days a week

The Package

• £27,000 - £33,000 per annum
• Hybrid working: 4 days in the Yeovil office, 1 day from home
• Enhanced Pension contribution + additional benefits available on request
• Some flexibility around school drop-off and pick-up, with an early finish on a Friday
• On-site parking
• The chance to develop within a finance function that is being built for the future

Why Apply?

This is a genuine opportunity to grow your finance career in a business that is investing in its team and processes. You’ll gain broad, hands-on experience, learn from experienced finance professionals, and have real input into how the function improves.
