Leeds City Centre – Office based
Part Time, Flexible Working Pattern offered – 20-25 hours per week

Yorkshire Design Group is an established, family-owned property business with over 35 years' experience in the development, regeneration and management of commercial property in Leeds.

With a varied portfolio of properties and interests across two group companies, we are looking for an experienced Accounts Assistant / Bookkeeper to take responsibility for the day-to-day accounting and financial administration of the business.

This is an interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety and responsibility that comes with working within a smaller, established organisation. You will work closely with the company's external accountant while becoming a key point of contact for day-to-day financial matters.

Your Role

The position covers a broad range of transactional accounts and bookkeeping responsibilities, with particular involvement in the financial administration of our managed properties.

Your responsibilities will include, but not limited to:

• Maintaining accurate day-to-day accounts across two group companies
• Raising sales invoices and processing tenant recharges
• Managing purchase ledger and supplier invoices
• Monitoring outstanding balances and chasing debtors
• Maintaining accurate tenant accounts and financial records
• Processing costs associated with landlords, utilities and service charges
• Dealing with invoices from contractors and other suppliers
• Completing bank reconciliations
• Maintaining accounting records within Sage
• Investigating and resolving day-to-day accounts queries
• Liaising with tenants, suppliers, landlords and contractors where required
• Working closely with the external accountant and providing financial information as required
• Supporting year-end accounting processes
• Assisting with other finance and accounts administration across the group

The nature of the business means there will be plenty of variety, and you will have the opportunity to develop a good understanding of both the financial and operational sides of the property portfolio.

Our ideal candidate

We are looking for someone with solid practical bookkeeping or accounts experience who is confident managing their own workload and maintaining accurate financial records.

You should have:

• Previous experience as an Accounts Assistant, Bookkeeper or in a similar finance position
• Practical experience using Sage
• AAT Level 3
• Experience of sales and purchase ledger
• Good knowledge of invoicing, reconciliations and credit control
• Strong numerical and administrative skills
• Good working knowledge of Excel
• Excellent attention to detail
• The confidence to communicate professionally with tenants, suppliers and other external contacts
• The ability to organise and prioritise your own workload

Experience within property, construction, commercial property or facilities management would be beneficial, although it is not essential.

A Flexible Part-Time Opportunity

We recognise that experienced people looking for part-time work often require some flexibility around their working pattern.

Our preference is approximately three days per week, although we are equally happy to consider spreading the hours across five shorter days, including a school-hours arrangement.

The position is office based at The Calls in Leeds city centre, working as part of a small, established team.
