• Sales ledger cash postings
• Reconciling purchase ledger accounts
• Handling staff expenses
• Matching invoices and raising purchase orders
• Supporting with cash book entries
• Logging holidays and sickness records
• Ordering materials and consumables for engineers
• General accounts admin and filing tasks

What we’re looking for:

• Previous experience in an accounts role (SME background desirable)
• Ideally some knowledge of payroll processing (training provided if not)
• A flexible, hands‑on approach with a strong eye for detail
• Comfortable supporting a wide range of finance‑related admin tasks
• Proactive and reliable with a team‑focused mindset
• A car driver is essential due to office location
• Willingness to provide full‑time cover during colleague holidays
