Trinity Professional • Permanent • Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom • £32k / year • 3d ago

We are delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a successful family-run company in Stourport-on-Severn.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced finance professional looking for a varied, hands-on role within a stable and growing business.

The Role

Working as part of a small finance team, you'll manage a varied workload and have the autonomy to organise your own day.

Day-to-day bookkeeping
Processing payroll
Supplier payments
Purchase and sales invoicing
VAT returns
Accruals and prepayments
Depreciation
Preparing year-end accounts for external accountants

You will ideally have:

Previous bookkeeping experience
Experience processing payroll
Experience completing VAT returns
Strong knowledge of Sage 50 Accounts
Experience using Sage Payroll

This role does not require advanced Excel skills, cashflow forecasting, or producing management reports. The focus is on maintaining accurate accounts and managing the day-to-day finance operations.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone who is:

Self-motivated and reliable
Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
Comfortable working independently
A strong communicator
Happy taking ownership of the finance function
Looking for a long-term opportunity within a friendly business

The Team & Working Environment

You'll be joining a small and supportive finance team, with two other team members providing additional support.

£32,000 salary
Annual performance bonus (typically around £6,000)
28 days' holiday including bank holidays
On-site parking
Casual dress
Flexibility for personal appointments

Genuine autonomy and trust from the Directors
Friendly, family-run culture
A role offering genuine work-life balance and flexibility
