We're looking for a practical, hands on Bookkeeper to join our client's finance team.

The Role
Initially, you'll be responsible for the day to day transactional finance activities, ensuring the smooth running of the accounts function. As you become established within the business, you'll be given the opportunity to take on wider bookkeeping responsibilities, financial reporting and greater ownership of the finance processes.

Key Responsibilities

Support ongoing cash collection and debt reduction activities.

Cashflow & Finance Support

Assist with daily cashflow management and reporting.
Support the preparation of financial information and reports.
Ensure accounting records are maintained accurately and up to date.

Systems & Administration

Use Sage accounting software for financial processing and record keeping.
Ensure all transactions are processed accurately and in a timely manner.
Support continuous improvements within the finance function.
Take on additional bookkeeping and finance responsibilities as the role evolves.

About You
We're looking for someone who:

Has previous experience working as a Bookkeeper or in a similar finance role.
Enjoys being hands on with the day to day processing side of accounts.
Is organised, methodical and has excellent attention to detail.
Has strong communication skills and can build effective relationships with suppliers and customers.
Is confident using accounting software, ideally Sage.
Wants to become a key part of the business and is excited by the opportunity to take increasing ownership of the accounts function over time.

What's on Offer?

A stable, long term opportunity within a supportive business.
The chance to take ownership of the finance function as you become established.
A varied role combining transactional accounting with longer term development opportunities.
The opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the continued success of the organisation.

If you're looking for a role where you can grow, develop and take the next step in your finance career, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a full time permanent position with a salary of £34,000 - £38,000 p/a, dependent on experience.
