Junior Accounts Associate

The Role

We are seeking a Junior Accounts Associate to join our finance team and support the smooth running of our day-to-day operations. This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting or finance graduate seeking to develop hands-on experience across transactional accounting and the monthly close, with a clear path to progress into a broader accounting role over time.

You will work closely with our Finance Manager and CFO, building strong accounting foundations while supporting a growing international business. You'll start with the fundamentals - accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations and journals - and, as your confidence grows and the team develops, there will be opportunities to take on more across the month-end close and financial reporting.

Above all, we are looking for someone genuinely curious about how a finance function operates - someone who seeks to understand the reasoning behind their work, takes pride in accuracy, and is confident raising questions and suggesting improvements rather than simply waiting for direction.

What You'll Do - Day to Day

This is the core of the role and where you'll spend most of your time, supporting financial operations across our four entities (UK, USA, Singapore, and Canada):

• Managing accounts payable - coding supplier invoices to the correct nominal and entity, routing them for approval through Omnea, and helping to process payments on time
• Managing accounts receivable - raising customer invoices accurately and on time, and helping to chase overdue accounts
• Performing daily bank reconciliations across multiple currencies (GBP, USD, EUR, SGD), investigating and resolving discrepancies
• Processing employee expenses via Spendesk & Deel, ensuring spend is correctly coded, supported, and approved
• Posting journals and maintaining accurate, well-organised financial records
• Keeping customer and supplier data current, reconciled, and auditable, and providing weekly AR and AP inputs for cash flow forecasting
• Responding promptly to billing and supplier payment queries and escalating issues where appropriate.

Supporting the Month-End Close

Each month you'll take on a defined set of close tasks, completing them accurately and to deadline while building your understanding of the full process:

• Assisting month-end balance sheet reconciliations under review - starting with bank, AR, and AP, and building toward more complex balances over time
• Helping to maintain prepayment and accrual schedules - posting monthly releases and raising AP accruals for invoices not yet received
• Supporting the preparation of monthly P&L and balance sheet reporting, helping to investigate unexpected items and assisting with variance analysis.
• Completing your assigned month-end tasks accurately and on schedule.
