DESCRIPTION

Commitment to innovation and a drive to do things differently have seen Greenergy grow from a bedroom start-up to become a world leader in waste-based renewables, and the UK’s leading fuel supplier. We endeavour to approach the status quo of an established industry with fresh eyes, and empower our people to develop and to deliver change through innovation. Our values underpin every interaction we have, whether with colleagues, customers, suppliers and the communities in which we operate. It is these values of Respect, Ownership, Care and Integrity that have delivered our growth as a business and developed strong customer relationships.
Choose to work for Greenergy and you’ll join a dynamic and passionate team, who are constantly looking to grow and improve.
We’re looking for a motivated and detail-driven Assistant VAT Accountant to join our finance team in Didsbury.

You’ll help prepare and submit UK and European VAT returns, reconcile VAT accounts, and support audits and business queries. You’ll also play a role in improving processes and ensuring compliance with changing legislation.
