About You

We are looking for someone with previous experience working within an accounts or finance role who is comfortable taking ownership of their workload and working independently.

You will need to be organised, reliable and confident communicating with both suppliers and customers.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is proactive – someone who will identify issues, follow them through and get them resolved rather than waiting to be asked.

Essential Experience & Skills

- Previous experience in an accounts or finance position

- Experience using Xero accounting software

- Good understanding of purchase ledger, sales ledger and account reconciliations

- Experience processing supplier invoices and reconciling payments

- Confident communicating with suppliers and customers

- Excellent organisation and attention to detail

- Ability to prioritise and manage your own workload

- Comfortable working independently and remotely

- Proactive approach to problem solving

- Able to attend our Woking office occasionally when required

Experience within the plant hire, equipment rental, construction or recruitment industries would be beneficial but is not essential.

Full training will be provided on our rental management software, OnRent.

Hours & Salary

£17–£19 per hour, depending on experience

24 hours per week across 3 days

The role is predominantly remote, with office facilities available in Woking, Surrey. Occasional attendance at the office will be required.

Why Join Us?

This is a great opportunity for an experienced accounts professional looking for a flexible part-time position with the ability to work predominantly from home.

You'll work closely with our Head of Finance and become an important part of the business, with the opportunity to take real ownership of your responsibilities rather than simply carrying out basic administrative tasks.

If you're an experienced, organised and proactive accounts professional looking for a flexible 3-day-a-week role, we'd love to hear from you.
