Your new company
A well‑known organisation based in Dublin City Centre is seeking an Accounts Assistant on a full‑time 2‑month contract, with an immediate start. This is a varied and hands‑on finance role within a collaborative team. The organisation offers 1–2 days onsite, a 40‑hour work week and a salary of up to €40,000 DOE.
Your new role
This role involves supporting a busy finance team with a strong focus on high‑volume Accounts Payable. You will manage the AP mailbox, maintain the purchase ledger, process large volumes of invoices, and ensure accurate PO matching, coding and cost centre allocation. You will oversee monthly supplier statement reconciliations, prepare payment runs, resolve supplier queries and complete AP period‑end routines. The position also includes responsibility for monthly bank reconciliations, daily reconciliation of multiple income streams, posting credit and purchase card transactions and investigating discrepancies. You will assist with low‑volume sales invoicing, monitor income received and liaise with internal teams as needed. Month‑end duties include supporting accruals and prepayments, updating finance SOPs, preparing capex documentation, assisting with audits and contributing to ongoing process improvements across the finance department.
What you'll need to succeed
You will have strong experience in an Accounts Assistant or AP‑focused role and be comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment with high invoice volumes. You should be confident completing reconciliations, managing payment cycles and supporting month‑end routines. Strong communication and organisational skills are essential, as you will be liaising with suppliers and collaborating closely with internal teams. Experience with credit card postings, revenue reconciliation or similar financial processes is an advantage.
What you'll get in return
You will receive a salary in the region of €30,000–€40,000, depending on experience, and gain exposure to a varied and dynamic finance role. You will be joining a collaborative and supportive finance team and benefit from a hybrid working arrangement of one to two days onsite each week.
