You’ll play a key role in keeping things running smoothly — from managing weekly payrolls and bank reconciliations to preparing VAT returns and supporting year-end processes. This is a hands‑on role within a close‑knit team, ideal for someone who takes pride in accuracy, efficiency, and independence.
What you’ll be doing
* Overseeing day‑to‑day finance operations, including bank reconciliations, supplier payments, and credit control
* Processing weekly and monthly payroll, pensions, and subcontractor (CIS) payments
* Preparing and submitting VAT returns and PAYE submissions
* Managing month‑end close activities: reconciliations, journal postings, and reports
* Supporting year‑end accounts preparation and compliance tasks
What you’ll bring
* Proven experience in bookkeeping or accounts management, ideally within an SME
* Solid understanding of payroll, VAT, and general accounting principles
* Confident with HMRC reporting and CIS administration
* Great attention to detail and the ability to work independently
* Proficiency with accounting software (Sage or Xero preferred) and Excel
AAT qualification (or equivalent experience) would be an advantage, as would any background in the construction or property sectors.
* A supportive, down‑to‑earth team environment
* Flexible working days (3 days per week, agreed to suit you and the business)
* A varied, trusted role where you’ll truly own the finance function
