As well as working for the main retail shops you will also prepare financial information for a small number of properties owned by the business. This role is a permanent full time, office based role. There will be a comprehensive hand over from the person currently in the role. There is free car parking available.

You must have experience working for a small business and in a hands on capacity. You must also live within easy commuting distance of Sydenham. It is vital that you have experience of using Sage 50 (and ideally Sage 50 Cloud) and working for an owner managed business. You must also be a team player, a people person and happy to work in a varied and challenging role. Good knowledge of Excel and a flexible working attitude is also desirable. Being AAT or ACA qualified is desirable but candidates who are qualified by experience will still be considered as experience is the most important thing to be considered for this role.

This rapidly growing retail business with a turnover of £4m and around 40 staff is a great place to work, with a friendly work environment in which to operate and a good work life balance. Overall this is a great opportunity for an experienced Bookkeeper or Sole Charge Accountant to join a growing and profitable local Owner Managed Business based in an easily accessible location in Sydenham and work in a friendly and enjoyable, yet challenging position.
