The Opportunity

This is a highly varied and client-facing role where no two days look the same. You'll be the first point of contact for clients, supporting the team with onboarding, compliance, admin, payroll and basic bookkeeping tasks. If you enjoy being the "go-to" person, thrive in a structured environment, and come from a financial admin background, this could be a great fit.

• Admin
  • Managing inboxes and supporting the director with day-to-day organisation
  • Maintaining accurate client files and documentation
  • Supporting workflow management and progress tracking across the team
  • Liaising with external partners
• Finance Support
  • Assisting with weekly and monthly payroll (training can be provided)
  • Supporting basic bookkeeping tasks where required

This is a self-managed role with lots to learn, training will be in-depth during the first 1-2 months to ensure you're fully confident.

What We're Looking For

• Ideally, experience within an accountancy role
• Confident, proactive and comfortable in a client-facing setting
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple tasks
• Someone who enjoys variety and being the central support within a small team
• Payroll or bookkeeping experience is helpful, but training can be provided
• A friendly, approachable communicator who builds rapport easily

Salary & Benefits

• 30,000 FTE (pro-rata part-time) Some flexibility depending on experience
• Supportive, close-knit team
• Clear opportunity for the role to grow with additional responsibilities and possible hours
