Accounts Assistant (Part Time), Cardiff

Eco2 Management Services Ltd (EMSL) is looking for a new Accounts Assistant!

This position is part of a job share with another individual. As such, we are looking for someone to work 20 hours per week. We are flexible on how those hours are worked and will work with the right candidate to find a mutually beneficial work arrangement.

The role sits within the core Finance team and helps to ensure the smooth running of the day-to-day financial record keeping. Working closely with a team of project accountants, internal operational Asset Management teams and reporting to the Finance Manager, this role is responsible for timely and accurate update of financial ledgers.

  • We believe in creating a flexible work environment that caters to the diverse needs of our team members. We understand the importance of work-life balance and are open to applications from part-time workers wanting to work 20 hours per week, but we are not set on how those hours need to be completed.
  • Your place of work will be our Cardiff office as we value face-to-face collaboration but there will be opportunities to work from home. Our expectation is that new team members will need to be in the office for up to 80% of their week in the early days of their employment to receive training and guidance to ensure they get off to a great start. We will discuss opportunities to work from home more frequently once the training period is complete.
  • A competitive salary and benefits package is on offer. The salary range for this role is £21-25k per annum (full time). We offer 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, and the benefits package includes pension, private healthcare and dental, eye care and a contribution to your gym membership.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Maintain the sales and purchase ledgers of several companies
  • Process monthly staff expenses and credit card statements
  • Complete the bank reconciliations for several companies
  • Prepare payment runs
  • Other ad hoc duties including dealing with supplier and customer queries and ensuring appropriate filing of financial records, and supporting the wider team when required

Who You Are:

We are keen to offer this role to someone who is wanting to develop themselves and continue learning. These are the skills and experiences that we will be looking for during the application process:

You will:

  • Ideally have some prior experience in an accounting or finance role.
  • Have some business administration experience in an environment where there were SLAs, deadlines or processing times and a high volume of work.
  • Ideally you will have some proficiency in accounting software (we use Sage) but we are prepared to train you up if this is your first finance role. If you can show us you’re capable of picking up new software and following processes, that will be a great start.

  • Possess a strong degree of self-organisation and an ability to prioritise tasks appropriately.
  • Be a confident communicator, who builds productive working relationships with your colleagues and suppliers via email, phone and face to face.
