My client is a leading £1bn turnover organisation based in Bristol looking for an Assistant Finance Business Partner to join the team in a role filled with fantastic development and growth opportunities.

The main responsibilities of the Assistant Finance Business Partner are as follows:

• Liaise closely with budget holders across the organisation to discuss their accounts with them, acting as the main financial point of contact for them.
• Take full ownership financially for your designated budget holder’s areas, playing a key role in the preparation of budgets and forecasts for these and analysing any variances that there may be.
• Assist the Finance Manager in the preparation of larger company-wide accounts, producing accruals, prepayments and journals for this process.
• Lead on any and all financial and accounting adjustments to company-wide accounts.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Assistant Accountant to take on a broad role underneath a line manager that prides themselves in developing their staff and helping them to reach their full potential. Furthermore, this organisation offers an excellent benefits package, including a significant annual leave entitlement, flexible working and financial support towards the completion of professional qualifications.

• Completed their AAT qualification or have a relevant finance/accountancy degree and ideally be working towards completing their accountancy qualifications (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, etc.).
• Experience of working within a management accountancy-based role.
• Ideally experience of explaining any form of financial information to non-finance members of staff e.g. what an accrual is, however, candidates without this are still encouraged to apply.
• Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills (vlookups, pivot tables, etc.).

If you are interested in this position please apply immediately, as this role is likely to gather a lot of interest and will be filled before the closing date.
