Assistant Accountant - FMCG Hybrid (3 days in Oval office) £35k - £40k

A high-growth, sustainability-focused consumer goods brand is looking for a proactive and detail-driven Assistant Accountant to join their dynamic finance team. If you're passionate about numbers, retailers, and making a tangible impact, this one’s for you.
This is not your typical number-crunching role - you’ll be at the heart of a fast-moving business that’s shaking up the personal care space.

-
Leading on credit control: chasing outstanding payments, managing balances, and building strong retailer relationships.
-
Partnering with operations to investigate and resolve invoice queries or disputes.
-
Keeping the books clean - reconciling bank transactions and resolving discrepancies.
-
Supporting the retail team with finance-related communications and requests.
-
Assisting with month-end duties including balance sheet reconciliations.
-
Spotting and implementing ways to make our processes smarter and more efficient.
What we’re looking for:
-
Must have: Experience working with retailers in an FMCG, consumer goods, or similar product-based industry - this is essential.
-
Solid accounts receivable background (1-2 years minimum).
-
Comfortable taking ownership and running your own processes.
-
Strong communicator who can work cross-functionally and manage external relationships.
-
Experience with Xero and GSuite is a bonus.
-
Studying towards AAT, CIMA, OR ACCA
