Senior Bookkeeper (Part-Time, Site Based)

Rural Warwick area (you must have transport)

20–30 hours per week

Permanent or temp-to-perm considered

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established business seeking an experienced senior bookkeeper to join their busy office function. This is a pivotal, hands-on role working closely with Directors and a small, collaborative team. The business is in a rural location, so a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential.

The Role

This is a varied and integral stand-alone position within a fast-paced environment, combining core finance responsibilities with payroll and wider office support. You will take ownership of day-to-day accounts processes while helping to keep the office running efficiently.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Processing sales and purchase invoices with accurate coding

  • Managing customer payments and deposit tracking across financial periods

  • Running weekly and monthly payment cycles, including BACS

  • Credit control, including escalation and small claims processes

  • Bank and credit card reconciliations

  • Managing bi-weekly payroll

  • Producing detailed weekly financial reports (Excel-based) with year-on-year comparisons

  • VAT returns and pension administration

  • Onboarding new employees, including right-to-work compliance

  • Managing staff holidays and maintaining records

  • Handling calls and emails, responding appropriately to customers and enquiries

  • Supporting supplier engagement, quotes, and ordering

  • Petty cash management

  • Providing general administrative support to the Directors

  • Processing customer orders and handling enquiries for a seasonal product line

About You
  • Proven experience in a similar accounts and payroll role within a commercial environment

  • Strong working knowledge of Sage 50 Accounts Professional and Sage 50 Payroll

  • Advanced Excel skills with the ability to produce detailed reports

  • Highly organised with excellent attention to detail

  • Confident communicator, comfortable dealing with customers, suppliers and colleagues

  • Proactive, adaptable, and able to prioritise effectively in a busy setting

  • A positive, “can-do” attitude and willingness to support across the wider office

What’s on Offer
  • Competitive hourly rate (dependent on experience)

  • 20–30 hours per week (flexible across days)

  • Stable, long-established business with a supportive team environment

This is a fully office-based role and will not offer remote working.

If you are an experienced Accounts & Payroll professional looking for a varied, hands-on role within a close-knit team, we’d love to hear from you. Please apply online now or email
