We're looking for a Part-time Accounts Assistant to join our Rural Division, working within the Client Accounting Team to support our forestry portfolio.



This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a professional and collaborative environment, where you will play a key role in ensuring smooth financial operations.



Based at our head office in Trumpington, Cambridge, this part-time role offers flexibility, and we are happy to discuss working hours that suit you.

What you'll be doing:

Processing and coding supplier invoices, reconciling supplier statements, and making payments. Managing property and non-property receipts, carrying out banking procedures, and processing transactions. Setting up ledgers, importing/inputting budgets, and maintaining financial records.

Experience in a bookkeeping role and an understanding of accounting principles is extremely desirable, however not essential.
