Full job descriptionAssistant Accountant / Bookkeeper Falmouth (office-based) – circa £17 - £20 per hour (Negotiable) – Part time 30 hours flexible – Temp - Urgently needed
If you’re an experienced bookkeeper or assistant accountant looking for a varied and hands-on role, this could be a great opportunity. I’m working exclusively with a well-established organisation based in Falmouth, supporting the accounting function across a small group of UK trading and holding companies.
Reporting to the UK Managing Directors and Financial Controller, you’ll take ownership of a broad range of accounting responsibilities, including:
- Client invoicing, credit control and accounts payable management, including payment runs and supplier ledger oversight.
- Bank reconciliations, UK group cash management and intercompany invoicing, with monthly intercompany balance reconciliations.
- Quarterly VAT returns, month end journals and preparation of monthly management accounts and reporting for individual group companies.
- Balance sheet reconciliations and P&L analysis to support accurate and timely financial reporting.
- Processing staff expense claims and credit card transactions, alongside management of two small UK payrolls, P11Ds and NEST pension scheme contributions and administration.
- Assisting with grant claim applications and other ad hoc finance tasks as required.
The ideal candidate will have solid experience across AP/AR ledger management, intercompany accounting, VAT returns, payroll and pensions, and be confident working with Xero (accounts and payroll) and Excel. Experience within a consultancy environment and familiarity with timesheet or CRM software would be a distinct advantage. The successful applicant will be comfortable managing competing priorities, working to deadlines and liaising with finance colleagues across international offices.
This role offers flexible working hours, either 6 hours across 5 days or 7.5 hours across 4 days, making it well suited to someone seeking a part time position with genuine variety and responsibility. This position could also suit an experienced bookkeeper ready to take on a broader remit, or a finance administrator with strong accounting knowledge looking to step up. If you have a solid transactional finance background and are available at short notice, I’d encourage you to apply.
This vacancy is being managed by Dan Saunders and the reference is DS11131.
