The Role

A hands-on finance and accounts position within a small team, offered on a part-time basis of three days per week. This role carries broad responsibility across day-to-day financial administration, purchasing, stock control and business reporting.

• Processing sales and purchase invoices, managing accounts payable and receivable, and running credit control.
• Bank reconciliations, cash flow monitoring and support for month-end processes.
• Preparing management information and financial reports.

• Maintaining accurate stock records, monitoring inventory levels and coordinating replenishment.
• Producing regular operational and financial reports and maintaining spreadsheets and databases.
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and efficiencies.

What We Are Looking For

Solid experience in finance administration, bookkeeping, purchasing or a similar broad-based finance role. Good working knowledge of accounts payable and receivable, invoicing, reconciliations and financial reporting. Strong Excel skills and a confident approach to business systems.

Experience with Xero is an advantage. Highly organised, accurate and comfortable managing a wide range of responsibilities independently. A flexible, hands‑on attitude is essential in a small team environment.

Salary

40,000 to 45,000 pro-rata, based on three days per week.
