Accounts Assistant

We're recruiting an experienced (full or part time), detail driven, efficient & bright Property Accounts Assistant for a Chester professional services firm. Working from smart, prestigious Chester offices, this is an established organisation with a positive & very strong reputation in their field (Property Services).

**This organisation also has a Nantwich office & we'd happily consider a candidate based there**

As a minimum you must have solid, proven Accounts Assistant experience & ideally we want a candidate with exposure to Property Accounts - which could increase the package offered. Happy to discuss!

If no Property experience then Level 2 AAT (or similar qualifications) are essential & again, Property would be the perfect background but other Accounts Assistant experience will definitely be considered.

The Property Accounts Assistant Role:

Responsible for all aspects of property accounts within their own designated portfolio, reporting to the respective Surveyor / Property Manager.

• Producing tenant invoices for rent, service charge, insurance and utility recharges on a monthly / quarterly basis.

• Receipting of all tenant income daily.

• Tenant arrears chasing and maintaining up to date tenant accounts

• Dealing with a high volume of supplier invoices & making supplier payments.

• Producing client statements on a quarterly / monthly basis and paying over of client funds.

• Liaison with clients and their advisors and producing relevant reports.

• Undertaking bank reconciliations.

• Dealing with tenant and supplier queries.

The Accounts Assistant Individual

• Experience in a similar level of Accounts Assistant job & ideally but not essentially Property Management Accounts.

• At least AAT Level 2 qualified or similar qualifications or a Property Accounts background.

• Well organised, ability to prioritise workload and to work to deadlines

• A team player but with an ability to work with a relatively high degree of autonomy, with minimal supervision.

• Knowledge of Re-Leased Property Management System / RICS Client Money Requirements is preferable but not essential as full training given.

This employer is known for their warm, professional, welcoming team attitude & apart from relevant background experience, a true team fit is absolutely essential.

Very successful SME team with a tangibly happy, friendly & warm working environment to offer the right candidate. Low staff turnover - simply a great place to work in a company with a brilliant & secure reputation.

Salary up to £27k (pro rata if part time) but happy to discuss if closely matched candidates with Property Accounts Assistant experience apply.

Mon-Fri 9-5:30. Part time - shorter hours but over 5 days.

25 days holidays (pro rata if part time) plus they close for Christmas & these holidays are on top of the 25 days

5% Employer pension + parking allowance + ad hoc benefits you don't often see but you'd expect from a leading organisation who value & keep their employees.
