Assistant Accountant - 32-33k, London in London, London

About the role

This well-established entertainment venue is expanding its finance team from two to three people, following a near-doubling of shows across the business. This is a newly created role, offering the chance to join a small, close-knit team at a genuinely well-loved venue with a strong brand and loyal following.

You'll be responsible for the majority of transactional finance activity, working closely with the Finance Manager and part-time Head of Finance. The role is office-based initially, with flexibility to be reviewed once you've settled in and built relationships across the business.

What you'll be doing

• Posting and reconciling purchase invoices, processing supplier payments, and administering two company credit cards
• Banking and reconciling cash and card takings
• Completing bank reconciliations and ensuring the bank matches the system
• Supporting colleagues with client invoicing, statements, credit control, and receipt allocation (a small part of the role)
• Preparing payment runs and processing electronic transfers
• Maintaining accurate financial records, ensuring all transactions are correctly recorded
• Assisting with month-end and year-end procedures and reporting
• Supporting the Finance Manager with ad hoc finance and administrative tasks
• Handling transactional finance for the organisation's charitable foundation, under the Head of Finance's supervision
• Liaising with a wide range of internal stakeholders across this flat-structured organisation, including box office, private hire, and payroll teams

What we're looking for

• A self-starter who takes ownership of their workload
• Previous experience as an Accounts Assistant, Finance Assistant, or Assistant Accountant
• Solid AP and AR experience, ideally within an SME environment
• Confidence processing invoices, reconciliations, payments, and general finance admin
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills — you'll be liaising with performers and agents as well as regular suppliers
• Good communication skills and confidence dealing with internal stakeholders
• Competent in MS Excel and Sage Line 50
• Trustworthy and comfortable handling confidential information
