Early Days Foods is a growing Dundalk food manufacturer making chef\-led frozen meals for crèches and schools across Ireland. As we scale, we're looking for an organised, confident all\-rounder to take ownership of the finance and people administration that keeps the business running smoothly.

This is a broad, hands\-on role — no two weeks are the same. You'll own five connected areas:

  • Credit control — keeping cash coming in.

  • Payroll administration — entering timesheets and tracking holidays and sick leave for our 47\-strong team, across ROI and NI.

  • HR administration — keeping employee records and files in order and acting as our day\-to\-day contact with our outsourced HR provider.

  • Bookkeeping — Input of supplier invoices, monthly reconciliation of statements and other general bookkeeping duties.

  • Company administration — keeping the office and company records running like clockwork.

  • Other duties assigned by management
We're looking for someone who:
  • has at least 3 years' experience in finance or office administration;

  • has hands\-on payroll and bookkeeping experience and is confident with accounting software;

  • has sharp attention to detail and works in an organised manner;

  • communicates confidently and handles sensitive information with discretion;

  • ideally has cross\-border (euro and sterling) or food / manufacturing experience — though that's a bonus, not a must.

  • Have full clean drivers licence ( Minimum age for insurance is 25\)
What you'll get: a competitive salary, a varied role with genuine ownership, direct contact with senior management, on\-site parking, and the chance to grow with an ambitious Irish business.

Early Days Foods Ltd is an equal opportunities employer.

Pay: €34,000\.00\-€40,000\.00 per year

Benefits:

  • On\-site parking
Application question(s):
  • Minimum age 25 (For insurance reasons)
Experience:
  • Bookkeeping: 3 years (required)
Licence/Certification:
  • Full Drivers Licence (required)
Work Location: In person
