Job description

Temporary Position Part Time 1 Month 3 Days Per Week

Are you an experienced Accounts Assistant or Bookkeeper looking for a short-term, part-time temporary opportunity?

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and growing business for an Accounts & Payroll Administrator to join their friendly finance team on a temporary basis for around one month, working 3 days per week.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. If you enjoy rolling your sleeves up, working across multiple areas of finance and being part of a supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As the Accounts & Payroll Administrator, you'll play an important role supporting the finance team with a broad range of accounting and payroll duties, helping to keep everything running smoothly throughout the assignment.

Your day-to-day will include:

Processing purchase ledger invoices and supplier payments.
Posting sales ledger receipts and maintaining accurate financial records.
Handling supplier queries and resolving invoice discrepancies.
Assisting with payroll administration and payroll processing.
Processing employee expenses and posting transactions to the ledger.
Maintaining cash books and financial records.
Producing and updating sales, stock and purchase reports.
Maintaining weekly and monthly Excel spreadsheets and management reports.
Providing general administrative support to the wider finance team.
Supporting colleagues across the business as required.

About You

You'll be organised, proactive and comfortable working independently within a busy finance environment.

We're looking for someone with:

Previous experience within an Accounts Assistant, Bookkeeping or Finance Administration role.
A good understanding of purchase ledger and sales ledger processes.
Experience supporting payroll or payroll administration is highly desirable.
Strong Microsoft Excel skills and confidence working with spreadsheets.
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
The ability to prioritise workloads and manage multiple tasks.
A positive, flexible attitude and a willingness to help wherever needed.
Experience using Sage 200 would be advantageous but isn't essential.

What's on Offer?

1 month temporary assignment.
Part-time hours, 3 days per week.
Flexible working days to be discussed.
A varied role within a supportive finance team.
The opportunity to gain further experience within a successful and growing business.
Immediate start available.

Interested?

If you're immediately available and looking for a short-term, part-time assignment, we'd love to hear from you.
