We're looking for a part-time, Senior Accounts Assistant to become a valued part of our growing team. If you enjoy taking ownership, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want to be part of a business where your work genuinely makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Senior Accounts Assistant
Remote (Leeds / West Yorkshire preferred)

Part-time, 25 hours/week
£35,000–£40,000 FTE, pro rata (circa £22,000–£25,000 for 25 hours per week), depending on experience

Please note: You must be authorised to work in the UK

We’re Wonderland Wedding Venues, one of the UK’s fastest-growing collections of exclusive-use wedding and event venues. In just a couple of years we’ve grown from five venues to nine across six counties, and from a handful of people into a team of around 25 who genuinely love what we do. Behind every celebration sits a finance function that keeps the whole thing running smoothly, and that’s where you come in.

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on Senior Accounts Assistant to take ownership of our day-to-day finances and grow with us as we scale. This isn’t number-crunching in isolation: you’ll be a trusted, visible part of a friendly team, working closely with our accountant, and you’ll feel the buzz of being part of the events and weddings world.

What you'll be doing

Managing accounts payable: processing supplier invoices and preparing payment runs
Owning accounts receivable and credit control: receipts, chasing and keeping debtors in check
Performing monthly bank, balance sheet and general ledger reconciliations
Posting journals and maintaining accurate, up-to-date financial records
Supporting VAT reconciliations and returns
Helping prepare periodic financial reports and monthly management accounts
Supporting year-end accounts, compliance and external audit requests
Helping keep our multi-entity / group records straight, including intercompany balances
Being the go-to person for everyday finance queries across the team
General finance administration and helping us improve how we work

What we're looking for

Solid, demonstrable experience in a hands-on accounts or bookkeeping role: you know the work inside out
Confident with the fundamentals: debits and credits, journals and reconciliations
Comfortable owning accounts payable, accounts receivable and VAT
Strong Excel (v-lookups, pivot tables) and good all-round IT skills
Experience with cloud accounting software: Xero is ideal, but if you’ve been using QuickBooks, Sage or similar, that’s absolutely fine
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
Well organised, deadline-driven and able to work independently in a remote role
A clear communicator and a genuine team player

Nice to have (but not essential)

AAT, or part-qualified / qualified (ACCA, CIMA, ACA). We welcome qualified-by-experience candidates just as warmly
Experience with Xero and HubDoc
Exposure to multi-entity or group accounting
A working understanding of FRS 102 and core accounting principles

Hours and location

25 hours per week, ideally spread across five days (around 9am–3pm) so there’s always a friendly face for finance queries, but we’ll happily flex the pattern for the right person
Open to full-time for the right candidate
Remote working, with occasional get-togethers (roughly monthly). We’re based around Leeds and West Yorkshire, so somewhere in the region is ideal, though we’re flexible for the right fit

Why Wonderland?

A growing, ambitious business where your work genuinely matters and you can see your impact
Real variety, and the chance to shape and grow the role as we scale
The energy of the events and weddings world, no two weeks are the same
A supportive, down-to-earth team that will make you feel right at home
