Bookkeeper​/Assistant Accountant

Are you a hand‑on Bookkeeper / Company Accountant / Assistant Accountant looking to join a friendly SME that can offer exceptional work‑life balance and a high degree of security?

You’ll be joining a £5m turnover group in Chesterfield.

• Highly methodical – you’ll be someone proud of your organisational skills and attention to detail.
