Summary
Hot New Role Alert – Part-Time Accounts Assistant – Cambridge Area
£28,000–£35,500 FTE | 24 hours per week | Permanent | On-site
ARC Commercial Recruitment Cambridge are excited to be working with a well-established, niche, and highly respected business just outside the heart of Cambridge. Known for their exceptional reputation and friendly, professional culture, this is a rare chance to join a small but dynamic team where you’ll be a key player — not just a number.
If you’re AAT Level 3 qualified (or similar) with experience in Xero, and you thrive in a role where you can work independently, think on your feet, and liaise directly with Directors and external Accountants, you could be the perfect fit.
Why This Role Stands Out:
• Work across a group of interesting companies — no two days will be the same
• Ownership and autonomy in your role
• Beautiful location with on-site parking
• Family-feel environment where your input really matters
Your Day-to-Day will Include:
• Credit control and chasing outstanding balances
• Processing purchase ledger invoices & company credit cards
• Posting sales invoices & reconciling accounts
• Bank reconciliations
• Weekly/monthly supplier payment runs
• Running Sage Payroll, producing P11Ds & P60s
• Managing CIS returns
• Assisting auditors and supporting year-end accounts
We’re Looking For:
✅ AAT Level 3 qualified (or equivalent experience)
✅ Confidence using Xero accounting software
✅ Sage Payroll knowledge
✅ Strong organisational skills and ability to meet deadlines
✅ Unmatched attention to detail and accuracy
✅ Excellent communication and listening skills
The Offer:
• Part-time (24 hours per week, flexible across the week)
• Permanent position with a stable company
• Company pension
• On-site parking
Location: Just outside Cambridge City — office-based
This is a genuine one-off opportunity to make your mark in a trusted local business. If you’re looking for a role with variety, ownership, and the chance to work directly with decision-makers — don’t miss this.
