Afternoon all
I have been to see an exciting business today in need of a full time bookkeeper (with administrator duties also) in the middle of Birmingham.
Needs to have Sage and accounting knowledge (although training to further this is being offered) as well as being outgoing with good attention to detail, ability to work on own initiative and able to manage three way purchase reconciliations and a lot of invoice entry work. Oh - and not be scared to grab the phone and muck in as required. At the moment the accountant is doing the vat returns and the payroll but they may look to bring that back in house in the future
They require a DBS check and due to the nature of the business you will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement. It's looking like a role where it's a basic 8 hour day but at certain times of year there is working over required until the job is done but they offset this in the quieter periods.
It's a client I would absolutely have taken on but I just haven't got time to offer the time they need..........so I obviously thought of the ICB :-)
I have offered to help train the current team and offer help to the new bookkeeper with the Sage system and converting the filing system (it is a paper based office) etc etc if required so I think they're looking for the right person to fit more than having all the skills. They want the right person to grow along with the business and as such are looking for a long term commitment.
It's a very specific business area and one I found really interesting and my 'quick chat' ended up being over two hours. The management team are very committed and this would be a good opportunity for someone looking for something permanent.
