This role would suit someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and being at the heart of a busy office. There will be time for a smooth handover, with excellent training and long‑term stability.

• Managing client onboarding and AML processes
• Chasing payments and supporting credit control
• Supporting with basic bookkeeping duties
• Assisting with payroll (training provided)
• Chasing clients for documentation and missing information
• Supporting with basic HMRC correspondence, including PAYE and VAT registrations

You will receive a full handover with in-depth training over the first 1-2 months to ensure you feel fully confident in the role.

What We're Looking For

• Ideally, some experience in accounts administration or chasing payments
• Confident, proactive, and comfortable in a client‑facing environment
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to juggle multiple tasks
• Someone who enjoys variety and being the central support within a small team
• Payroll or bookkeeping experience is beneficial, but not essential as training can be provided
