Part Time Accounts Senior

Behind every successful growing business is someone who keeps the finances running with accuracy, insight, and confidence. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced finance professional who enjoys taking ownership, improving processes, and playing an active role in a business's continued growth.

This is a hands-on, varied position offering the opportunity to oversee day-to-day finance operations while working closely with senior leadership to support the organisation's next stage of development.

The Opportunity

This is much more than a transactional finance role. You'll become a valued member of a close-knit team, taking ownership of the finance function and ensuring everything runs efficiently behind the scenes.

Working alongside senior leaders and external accountants, you'll deliver accurate financial information, support effective cashflow management, and contribute to the smooth operation of the wider business.

• Prepare accurate financial information to support monthly management reporting.
• Monitor cashflow, customer receipts, and supplier payment schedules.
• Produce financial and project reporting to support commercial decision-making.
• Assist with finance administration, compliance activities, and continuous process improvements.

Candidate Profile

• Previous experience in an Accounts Senior, Senior Accounts Assistant, Bookkeeper, or similar finance position.
• Excellent attention to detail with strong organisational skills.
• Experience using Xero or a comparable accounting package.
• Confident managing your own workload and balancing multiple priorities.
• Enjoy working within a fast-paced SME where you'll have broad exposure across the business.

Package Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Part-time working arrangement.
• High level of autonomy and ownership.
• Opportunity to gain wider commercial exposure beyond finance.
• Supportive, collaborative working environment.

The Opportunity

• Join a successful and growing business with exciting plans for the future.
• Take ownership of a broad and varied finance position.
• Work closely with senior leadership and contribute to key business decisions.
• Build a role where your expertise will make a genuine difference to the organisation's success.
