There’s never been a better time to join RWE npower’s Finance division. We’re transforming the way we work, and introducing a new Central Accounting function. Dedicated professionals will focus on managing all general ledger activity, reconciliations and control for the UK business. Naturally, we’re only looking for the very best people to join our brand new team. It’s an exciting opportunity to play a part in making sure our new way of working is a real success. 

We’re seeking Assistant Accountants to join us in a range of specialist areas. Working in an accurate, timely and compliant way, you’ll enjoy a variety of vital responsibilities - from the preparation of journals and reports, to payment processing and month end closing. You’ll be instrumental in making sure financial controls remain intact, audits are always successful and stakeholders benefit from useful and reliable management information. There are opportunities to be involved in a diverse range of activities including GL, VAT, Intercompany, Accounts Receivable and more. Both your Finance colleagues and partners across the business will see you as a key team player. 

That means we’ll expect you to be a confident individual, with strong communication and relationship building skills, and a commitment to delivering excellent customer service. Highly numerate, with a keen interest in every aspect of accounting and financial control, you’ll be a part-qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, CIMA) and have a good numeric degree. Disciplined and process-driven, you have keen attention to detail and quality, and you’re able to prioritise and structure your own workload. We’ll also expect you to have an inquisitive and challenging mind. It’s essential that you have strong analytical skills, with the ability to investigate queries thoroughly and accurately and manipulate data. You’ll be proficient in Excel, Outlook and, ideally, SAP.
