Office Based - Finance & Accounts Lead - PART TIME ROLE

NOT YOUR EVERY DAY

Finance \& Accounts Lead

Part\-Time · Flexible Hours

Harlow, Essex \| £34,000–£40,000 FTE (pro rata) \| Part\-time, 20–30 hrs/week

Why this role is worth your time

We supply premium, design\-led furniture to some of the biggest brands in the world, at some of the largest events — Cannes Lions, Goodwood, brand launches, airshows, film sets. We’ve grown from nothing to around £3 million in three years, and we’re about to move into a larger warehouse as we keep scaling.

A business growing this fast needs its finance function to grow up with it. That’s where you come in. You’ll own the day\-to\-day running of finance, working closely with our Ops \& Finance Director. You’ll get:

– Real ownership — you’ll produce the management accounts and run month\-end, not just process transactions

– A part\-time role of 20–30 hours a week, with flexible hours — the pattern is open to discussion, and we’re happy to work around school hours if that suits

– A business on the up — you’ll help shape the finance function as we scale, including our move to a new warehouse

– Variety — as a small business, no two weeks look the same, and you’ll get involved beyond the numbers

What you’ll actually be doing

– Prepare monthly management accounts and run month\-end

– Manage our remote bookkeeping support, who work as part of a shared service — reviewing their work and keeping things on track

– Maintain the fixed asset register (important in a hire business with a large and growing stock of assets)

– Support payroll and the usual finance tasks — VAT, reconciliations, reporting

– Work in Xero day to day

– Get stuck into other areas of the business as we grow

You’ll report to and work closely with our Ops \& Finance Director. This is a part\-time role of 20–30 hours a week, and we’re flexible on the exact pattern — we’ll agree hours that work for you and for the role, school hours included if that suits.

What we need from you

Must\-have

– You can confidently prepare a monthly set of management accounts on your own

– Solid, practical finance experience — qualified by experience is absolutely fine

– Comfortable overseeing bookkeeping or more junior finance support

– Strong attention to detail, and happy to own your work end to end

– Confident with accounting systems (Xero ideal)

Preferred but not essential

– A recognised qualification — ACCA, CIMA or ACA, or working towards one

– Experience in an SME or owner\-managed business

– Exposure to payroll and fixed assets

What you get

– £34,000–£40,000 FTE, pro rata for part\-time hours

– Part\-time (20–30 hours per week), with flexible hours to be agreed

– Additional leave

– Company events

– Company pension

– On\-site parking

– A genuine growth path as the business scales
