You will be responsible for maintaining accurate financial records, ensuring strong cash flow, managing client money processes, and building positive relationships with customers while confidently managing overdue debt.
Payroll is currently outsourced; however, there are plans to bring this function in-house in the future, providing an excellent opportunity to broaden your responsibilities and develop your payroll knowledge over time.

- Exposure to payroll would be beneficial, although full training will be provided as payroll is brought in-house
