Overview
Are you ready to play a central role in a thriving, employee-owned business? Haremi is seeking an Office and Finance Manager to become a key part of our close-knit team of nearly 50 talented individuals.
About the role
As our Office and Finance Manager, you’ll be the essential link connecting our colleagues, customers, and suppliers – ensuring that Haremi runs smoothly every day. You’ll handle a diverse range of hands-on responsibilities, from managing office operations to overseeing our finances, and your expertise will be vital to our continued growth and excellence.
You’ll be the go-to person for all office, administrative, and finance queries, responding in person, via phone, email, or Microsoft Teams. Your precision and diligence will shine as you process, input, and reconcile a high volume of invoices and bills, maintain rigorous financial controls, and create and manage our digital records.
Payroll and HR admin tasks will also be under your care, including coordinating the monthly payroll and administering our HR systems and processes. In this pivotal position, you’ll work closely with our Senior Leadership Team, and your organisational skills will help steer Haremi towards operational excellence.
This is an office-based, part-time role with hours to be worked across 5 days per week. The salary quoted is the full-time equivalent salary and your starting salary within the range will reflect your skills and prior experience.
Responsibilities
* Join and coordinate office operations to ensure smooth daily functioning.
* Manage finances, input and reconcile invoices, maintain financial controls, and manage digital records.
* Oversee payroll coordination and HR administration, including HR system processes.
* Collaborate with the Senior Leadership Team to support operational excellence.
What experience you will need
We’re looking for someone with a track record of delivering outstanding support in a similar role, or with the drive and capability to convince us you’re the perfect fit. Experience with core accounting principles, financial data, and software like Xero is valuable. Exposure to payroll processing and HR administration is advantageous, but not essential.
You must be highly numerate, literate, and comfortable with Office 365 apps – especially Excel. Your experience must show you can focus on accuracy and compliance, whilst successfully supporting others. Most importantly, you’ll be a reliable, independent contributor who brings value to our team and helps drive the business forward.
We value exceptional organisation, time management, and attention to detail. If you excel at juggling tasks calmly and effectively, take ownership of your work, and proactively address issues, you’ll fit right in. We want someone who brings positivity, professionalism, and a friendly approach to every interaction. Enthusiasm for learning, adaptability, and a hands-on mindset are key.
Accounting qualifications or experience in publishing/education are not required – your energy, skills, and commitment are what matter most.
