What Our Team Say
“In business the accounts department can be influential, whilst that comes with additional responsibility, it can lead to opportunities to gain a wealth of knowledge and experience companywide. The role of accounts can be fast paced and aspects can be challenging, but it’s always rewarding. Accounts is the perfect match for strategic and orderly minds, every day is slightly different and there’s always brilliant gratification in a tidy ledger!”
— Holly. Accounts Manager.
“An accounts department is generally a very methodical environment. It’s important to have good communication skills and to work closely with other teams to ensure everything is running smoothly. We enjoy the process of investigating queries, particularly with purchase invoices! Often in accounts there can only be one correct answer and so that makes for quite tidy processing, whether it be customers or suppliers, there’s always a conundrum to be solved somewhere!”
— Lucy and Mel. Accounts Coordinators.
