Job Summary

This is a remote position.


Bookkeeper - Part Time (Remote)
20 - 35 per hour depending on experience
Part-time 8 hours per week
Remote UK based


Experienced Bookkeeper sought by a London based boutique political consultancy working across housing education and the wider built environment to take full ownership of their finance admin on a part-time basis. This is a small senior team built around close relationships rather than layers of process and the founder wants someone wholl treat this function as extremely important despite the few hours involved. Youll work closely with the founder and the external accountant with real autonomy to get the job done.


Your duties will include sending out 20 to 30 invoices a month around the 1st and 2nd running the full credit control function and chasing outstanding debt by phone when needed (a small volume of invoices but often for large amounts) processing disbursements completing VAT returns and using Xero day to day. Youll liaise directly with the external accountant to keep everything reconciled and on schedule. You should be very comfortable with credit control as this will be one of the key functions of the role. This position calls for someone switched on and reliable who takes it seriously despite the modest hours. Youll need to be a good personal fit for the founder day to day more than someone looking to get embedded with a wider team since this is a lean close-knit set-up with limited team interaction.


Working hours are flexible across 8 hours a week to be agreed though youll need to be available during UK working hours.

Fully remote no office attendance required.
