• Regular bank and balance sheet reconciliations

• Comfortable working independently in a small team

Hours & Growth
• Starting at approximately 7.5 hours per week

• Modern systems and lovely clients
• Ongoing development as the role grows
• The chance to genuinely make a difference in a growing practice
