Accounts Assistant – Newark (Hybrid)Full-time, 40 hours (flexible start between 8–10am)
2 days work from home
Start ASAP – Temp role with the potential to go permanent

We’ve got a great opportunity for someone experienced in accounts to join a friendly, down-to-earth finance team in Newark. It’s a typical Accounts Assistant role but with some nice perks — flexible hours, 2 days a week from home, and a supportive team to work with.

You’ll be working closely with the Financial Controller (the group finance team is based in London), and if things go well, there’s a good chance this temp role could turn permanent.

The process is really straightforward — just a 20-minute Teams chat with the Financial Controller, and if it’s a match, you could start straight away!

You’ll be a key part of the Finance & Operations team, helping to make sure everything runs smoothly — from supplier payments and expenses to reconciliations and reporting.

Day-to-day tasks include:

  • Managing supplier accounts and handling invoicing, debit notes, and retros
  • Checking product margins and flagging any issues to the Buying & Merchandising team
  • Preparing and submitting payment files for approval and processing
  • Reconciling supplier statements and sorting out any discrepancies
  • Processing petty cash from stores
  • Supporting with month-end tasks and general finance admin
  • Communicating with suppliers and internal teams to keep everything on track

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience in Accounts Payable
  • Confident managing supplier payments and reconciliations
  • Solid Excel and Outlook skills
  • Proactive, motivated, and happy to work independently or as part of a team
  • Flexible and adaptable — someone who can roll up their sleeves and get stuck in
  • A genuine interest in retail or the creative industry
  • Experience using Netsuite ERP would be a bonus
