Down to earth and able to build rapport quickly – An easy to talk to, good natured, friendly accounts team member that can build good relationships. You’ll be negotiating payment terms, and timely payment, so you need powers of persuasion.

Organized and confident with a calm manner– we’re looking for someone with confidence in their abilities and skills. You will need to be confident in dealing with numbers and finances, and reading and recording account transactions on our systems. When communicating with colleagues and other businesses you will need to be able to speak knowledgeably and comprehensively. Able to work on your own initiative as well as in a team. When our staff are easy to work with it can be a deciding factor for suppliers and customers when they come to choose who gets their deal. Respectful. Hardworking. Proactive. Persistent – everybody works consistently hard here. You’ll be faced with a lot of challenges and will need to be tenacious! Dealing with late paying customers and demanding suppliers, a determined ‘get things done’ kind of personality is vital. Honest and accountable – you’ll be working closely with your departmental colleagues and reporting back to our FD and will need to respond quickly to queries coming in from suppliers, and our purchasing and returns team. Easy going with a sense of humor – there’s always a great atmosphere in the office and you’ll have some very funny people working around you! Everybody is really friendly, relaxed around their colleagues, and happy to help whenever needed. A sense of responsibility to the business and colleagues.
