Accounts Assistant

We are an expanding and profitable independent restaurant and bar operator based in Central London. The Company was formed five years ago by an experienced management team who have previously operated a business together. A vacancy has arisen to join our existing finance team of eight, based within our head office.

This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate to commence a career in finance as the role will be varied and over time will likely include:

Sales/Cash book postings and Bank Reconciliations (including reconciliation of customer credit/debit card receipts)

Purchase ledger (checking and authorising invoices, posting them on to Sage 50 Accounts, supplier statement reconciliations, Bacs payments

Payroll (processing hourly paid staff on Sage Payroll, setting up new employees and issuing P45's to leavers)

Preparation of reports from our Epos/Integrated stock control system (stock usage and variance reports, sales mix analysis, daily sales timeslot analysis)

The role will expand over time and future progression is assured as we plan to open more sites going forward.

Excellent communication skills are essential, and a minimum of one years experience within a finance department is preferable. We are ideally seeking a candidate who is either currently studying for a finance qualification, or is intending to start. ACCA mentoring is available if desired, and study support is provided. 

Our head office is centrally located between Baker Street, Marble Arch and Edgware Road tube stations.

Please apply by e-mail attaching a CV, and include a brief description within the e-mail of why you consider yourself suitable for the role and what you are looking to gain from it.
