LUX is looking for people who don’t believe in the status quo, who dare to challenge, to dream big, to innovate outside the box and are willing to take risks.
LUX is based in Oxford, at Grove Business Park, the UK’s centre for cryogenics R&D. We are a young start-up, daring to disrupt the energy sector, and accelerate the adoption of Clean liquid Hydrogen and a NetZero energy future.
Accounts Assistant
As an Accounts Assistant, you will be a key member of the finance function at LUX – a fast-growing, innovative start-up in Oxfordshire revolutionising liquid hydrogen technology.
You will manage day-to-day accounting tasks including bank reconciliations, journals, accruals, and prepayments, while supporting month-end processes such as VAT preparation and management accounts. You will handle the full purchase-to-pay cycle, raising purchase orders, processing supplier invoices, managing payment runs, and resolving queries - alongside supporting payroll and maintaining accurate records within Xero.
Working closely with both internal teams and the company's external accounting firm, you will also provide broader financial administration support, ensuring LUX's finances are accurate, up to date, and ready to support its ambitious growth plans.
