Part Time Accounts Assistant / Bookkeeper

My client is a hospitality venue set in a beautiful rural setting. The current bookkeeper, who has been with the business many years is now looking to reduce her hours and this has created a wonderful part time opportunity to be part of this friendly, family run business.
Working 20 hours over four or five days, your key responsibilities will include purchase ledger, sales ledger, cashbooks and once trained, payroll.
The purchase ledger consists dealing with coding and obtaining authorisation for 40 to 50 invoices a week and weekly payment runs both by BACS and cheque. You will input invoices on to the sales ledger and keep a list of what has been paid. The payroll is complex as staff are paid different rates according to the functions they perform and timesheets have to be checked closely. All the accounts are done on Quickbooks.
In addition, the current bookkeeper over a period of time intends to hand over more of her work. This will include cashflows, production of the accounts, budgets and forecasts.
Ideally, you will have good bookkeeping skills and a strong knowledge of debits and credits along with experience of either QuickBooks or Sage Line 50. You will be a reliable, conscientious person with a good work ethic and an ability to learn and take direction.
Benefits include 20 days holiday pro rata plus Bank Holidays.
