Part Time Bookkeeper - Pool - £25-28,000 FTE
Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been exclusively engaged by a new client, a long established and highly regarded Cornish FMCG producer. The business forms part of a wider group of companies and we have been tasked with sourcing a Bookkeeper who will focus on maintaining the day-to-day finance function of the site. The role is offered as a permanent, part time contract to work over a flexible 3-4 day week to suit the successful candidate. The role will be based at the company's production facility in Pool (with onsite parking).
Reporting to the Group Finance Director, the successful candidate will essentially assume a standalone role, managing the day-to-day financial operations of this trading entity. Key focus of the role:
- Maintain daily, weekly and monthly financial records using Xero software
- Oversee all aspects of the accounts payable function: Assisting with supplier payments, invoice posting, account maintenance and acting as initial point of contact for supplier queries
- All aspects of accounts receivable to include invoice runs and payment allocations
- Monitor the aged debt book taking appropriate action where required
- Bank and credit card reconciliations
- Administering factoring accounts
- Assist in other areas of finance as and when required i.e. the production of cost analysis reports etc.
- Develop and implement system and process enhancements where required
- Assist the Group FD with year-end procedures
For this role we seek a Bookkeeper or perhaps an Accounts Assistant with a minimum of 12 months of recently gained experience, either part/fully AAT or qualified through vocational experience. Experience gained in a manufacturing, FMCG or general production facility would be advantageous but not essential. The company utilises Xero as its accounting platform so a strong aptitude for digital accounting to include general MS Office will be essential. The role works as part of a very friendly and longstanding site team so great team-working and interpersonal skills will be a must!
