Accounts Assistant

Harmonic are working with one of the world's most established architecture and design consultancies on their search for an Accounts Assistant to join the London finance team. The business is a genuine heavyweight in its field - working across a wide range of commercial, cultural, and civic projects at scale, with a large international team and a strong reputation built over several decades. The London office is home to a collaborative, high-performing finance function that sits at the centre of a creative, multi-disciplinary business. It's a tight-knit team with a good culture, and one where people tend to stay - the Accounting Manager has been with the business a long time and knows it inside out, which makes for a solid environment to develop in. This is an AR-focused role with real breadth - you'll be covering cash receipts, collections, balance sheet reconciliations, fixed assets, weekly reporting, and some AP support, as well as working closely with the project accounting team on reimbursable back-up. It's hands-on and varied, and you'll be expected to take ownership of your areas from early on rather than just working to instruction. There's also a client-facing dimension worth flagging: internal stakeholders across the design and studio teams are your customers, so how you communicate matters as much as how accurately you process. The business is looking for someone organised and technically solid, but also someone who brings a professional, proactive manner to the role.
