  • Capture timesheets and send them to payroll before cut-off.
  • Load supplier invoices and match them to goods-received notes.

  • Keep site files, safety files and staff files up to date.
  • Update the monthly Excel dashboard for the owner or branch manager.

  • Neat, reliable record keeping
  • Working knowledge of Sage, Pastel or a similar accounting package
  • Confident talking to suppliers, clients and staff
  • You can handle many small tasks without losing track

Helpful, not essential

  • Dealer management system experience for motor roles

On offer
