Introduction
Monty are looking for a talented Accounts Assistant to join our team in a newly created position. This is a great role for someone looking for greater flexibility in their life, with remote working and working hours that can be built around the right candidate.

- Client queries
- Managing client finance inboxes

About you
This role is remote and can suit anyone who is looking to work between 20 and 25 hours a week - over 4 or 5 days - we’ll fix the hours depending on the requirements of the right candidate.
We’re looking for people who have done this kind of role before and are ideally AAT qualified or working toward a qualification. Previous experience with Xero and/or payroll will be advantageous.
You have to be comfortable with handling multiple deadlines and need to be able to manage your workload.
Great communicators and finishers will be really suited to this role.
About us
We’re a small, growing, accountancy practice (9 of us at present) who are focussed on the hospitality and retail sectors, with some great restaurants, pubs and shops in our client list.
We provide a ‘virtual finance department’ solution for clients, so we’re looking after all the day to day stuff, including payroll, supplier payments and management accounts.
As we’re virtual, we don’t visit client’s offices or have a fixed office ourselves - there is no need with the set up we have. You will work remotely, staying in contact with the team on a day-to-day basis through our chat function and video calls. We also meet up each month, so you will need to be able to travel to the Swindon / Newbury area for these meetings.
We believe a job shouldn’t take over your life, so we don’t expect people to be working outside of their hours on a regular basis. But we’re working to a lot of deadlines, so you will need to be really organised and great at prioritising.
We’ve got high standards - the founders have both worked in industry running finance departments for large organisations - we want our service to run very much like an inhouse department - you’ll be challenged (but in a good way!)
Place of work & salary
This is a remote role so you will be based at home. We will provide you with computer equipment and you will need a good, reliable internet connection and a space to work.
The salary for the role is £28,000 (FTE). You will benefit from 5 weeks holiday (plus bank holidays) and will be included in the company auto enrolment pension scheme.
