Assistant Accountant, Treasury & Banking

Hemel Hempstead (Hybrid – 3 days/week in office)

Annual salary + bonus and benefits

Ready to turn your accountancy know-how into something bigger? As Assistant Accountant in our External Reporting & Treasury team, you'll be at the heart of the day-to-day financial operations that keep the business running smoothly. You'll look after banking operations, bank reconciliations, journal postings, treasury administration and month-end activities, working alongside colleagues across Finance and the wider business. Accuracy really matters here, and you'll help keep our records spot on and our controls strong.

If you're part-qualified and keen to grow, this is a brilliant place to build your career in accounting and treasury within a large, complex organisation, with plenty of room to develop across treasury, external reporting and wider financial accounting.

What you will be doing:

-        Keeping the money moving: Running daily banking across multiple platforms and bank accounts and making cash transfers that stick to treasury controls.

-        Being the reason the numbers add up: Completing daily and monthly bank and balance sheet reconciliations, chasing down exceptions and keeping the matching processes sharp.

-        Keeping the data flowing: Loading bank statements into ERPx, running auto-posting, reconciling the Plot, Plot Web and Seaware income streams, and posting journals accurately and on time.

-        Giving the team the big picture: Preparing daily cash and banking reports, keeping the weekly Bank Tracker up to date, supporting the weekly Cash Flash and helping with cash flow reporting.

-        Acting as a problem solver and process improver: Answering banking and income queries, pulling together audit documentation, spotting ways to strengthen controls and supporting wider External Reporting & Treasury work

What we’d like you to bring:

-        A good understanding of double-entry bookkeeping and accounting principles, with experience of bank reconciliations and journal postings.

-        An understanding of payment controls and financial processes, plus strong Microsoft Excel skills.

-        Previous experience in a finance or accounting environment, including processing payments and maintaining financial records. ERP experience is desirable.

-        AAT qualified or studying towards AAT, ACCA or CIMA (or equivalent experience), or a degree in Accounting, Finance or Business.

-        Excellent attention to detail, strong organisation and time management, good communication and a proactive, continuous improvement mindset. Above all, bring enthusiasm to learn and grow, because there's loads of potential to build a long-term career in Finance at Haven.
