The Opportunity
Our client, a well established business, is looking for an Accounts Assistant to join their finance and operations function. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a varied, all round accounts role covering procurement, supplier coordination and payroll support.

• Liaise with internal teams to ensure deadlines are met
• Source and assess alternative goods and services when required
• Enter purchase orders into internal systems at the time of ordering
• Process delivery notes and chase outstanding documentation
• Support weekly payroll and wages, ensuring accurate timesheets, spreadsheets and pension submissions
• Assist with general administrative duties as required
• Respond to day-to-day business requests in a professional and friendly manner
• Follow Health & Safety guidelines and company policies
• Support with ad-hoc duties as required

"From our first conversation, Lyndsey has been exceptional - always following through when she said she'd be in touch and keeping me informed throughout the entire process. In an industry where communication can often be lacking, her reliability and professionalism really stood out. What started as a temporary placement has turned into a permanent position, which speaks volumes about Lyndsey's ability to match candidates with the right opportunities. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and found a role that was genuinely a great fit. Working with her made what can often be a stressful process actually enjoyable and I can't thank her enough."
"From the initial contact to all subsequent follow-up, the team at Global Highland have been engaging, enthusiastic and professional. I was paired up with a suitable role almost immediately and from there, the process has been transparent and seamless. Happy to recommend the team and will certainly look forward to dealing with Global Highland again in the future."
