Job Description
We are partnering with a dynamic and growing business based in the heart of Barking IG11 to recruit a meticulous and proactive Accounts Assistant. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive finance team, offering an immediate start for a candidate ready to hit the ground running. The role is perfect for someone with a solid foundation in bookkeeping and accounts administration who thrives in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. Our client values accuracy, efficiency, and a collaborative spirit, and they are looking for a temporary team member with the potential to transition into a permanent position based on performance and business needs.
As a leading temping agency in London, labourer.agency specialises in connecting skilled professionals like you with local businesses that need reliable talent fast. Whether you're seeking flexible temporary jobs to fit around other commitments or a foot in the door for a long-term career in finance, we provide the gateway. We understand the Barking market intimately, just as we do for roles like Transportation Managers in Mansfield or Healthcare Support Workers across the UK. By applying through us, you gain access to a dedicated consultant who will advocate for you and streamline the entire process from registration to your first payday.
Key Responsibilities
- Processing purchase and sales ledger invoices, ensuring accurate coding and timely entry into the accounting system (e.g., Sage, Xero, QuickBooks).
- Managing supplier statement reconciliations and preparing payment runs for authorisation, maintaining strong vendor relationships.
- Performing bank reconciliations and daily cash posting to maintain accurate and up-to-date financial records.
- Assisting with credit control activities, including generating statements, chasing overdue invoices, and resolving customer queries professionally.
- Providing general administrative support to the finance department, including filing, data entry, and assisting with month-end closing procedures.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a similar Accounts Assistant or bookkeeping role, with a strong understanding of basic accounting principles.
- Proficiency in using accounting software and MS Office, particularly Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs). High accuracy and attention to detail are non-negotiable.
- Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a busy environment.
- A proactive, problem-solving attitude and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. AAT studiers or qualified candidates are highly desirable.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in transparent and fair compensation. The pay rate for this Accounts Assistant position is competitive and will be clearly discussed during your registration, based on your specific experience and qualifications. It is designed to attract top talent in the Barking IG11 area. In addition to the attractive hourly or daily rate, you will benefit from our agency's overarching advantages:
- Weekly Pay: Get paid reliably every week, without delay, for the hours you work.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Your statutory holiday pay is accrued and managed for you.
- Temp-to-Perm Pathway: This role offers a genuine opportunity to prove yourself and secure a permanent contract with the client company.

- Career Support: Your dedicated consultant at labourer.agency will be your point of contact for feedback, support, and guidance on future opportunities, much like we provide for candidates in our construction recruitment or IT sales divisions.
