Company Accountant

Company Accountant

A brilliant opportunity for an experienced Company Accountant who enjoys taking ownership of a varied, hands‑on finance role within a small, established business. This is a self‑sufficient role, working closely with Directors who are not finance‑led, so they need someone confident managing the full accounts function from start to finish. The role can be either full time or 4 days per week or flexibility around daily hours working 5 days per week.

The current Accountant finishes late September, so an earlier start would be required to allow as much handover as possible.

This is a lovely, steady accounts role within a small, extremely friendly business. It would suit someone who enjoys being the finance person in the business, taking responsibility for everything day to day and keeping things running smoothly. Once established it will be very manageable. The business is in a profitable and organised place and needs someone reliable, capable and self‑sufficient to take over the ongoing finance function.
