Payroll
Providing cover and assistance to your colleagues and the Accounts Manager

This is a great opportunity to join a growing business that is now in a position to promote their Bookkeeping service! They have a steady number of bookkeeping clients but are also finding demands from new and existing clients are coming in thick and fast! Additionally they need to adopt new tech and be at the forefront internally and externally with using Figured, Xero etc
