As a smaller business, there are a number of other duties that are included within this role; including the maintenance of the IT systems (should be no problem for a well-rounded accounting professional) and supporting the senior management team in the delivery of company polices i.e., Health and Safety.

Other duties to include:

• Management of general accounting functions; sales and purchase ledger, variance reports and bank reconciliations
• Payroll administration for a small team
• Present summarised financial information to the SMT
• General upkeep and performance improvements of the accounting systems and processes

• Oversight of the company’s IT systems and database integrity
• Support the SMT with Health and Safety compliance and training
• Work with chartered accountants to report year-end accounts

What we are looking for:

• Strong IT skills, including the use of MS Office
• Management experience gained within an office environment
• AAT Level 3/4 or QBE
• Driving License

This role would suit someone who is confident in the delivery of a quality bookkeeping service, as well as the experience of leading a small team and the knowledge to be the “go to person” for IT related matters. This role will no doubt prove popular and the client is looking to interview ASAP. The reference for this vacancy is DS9731.
