Bookkeeper

Job Description

Bookkeeper, Ongoing temporary assignment, Immediate start, Flexible hourly rate, Office-based

Your new company
You will be working for a small construction organisation based just outside of Birmingham city centre.
Your new role
You’ll join a small, fast-paced construction SME in a hands-on, all-round role covering finance administration on a temporary, ongoing basis. Working closely with the Director, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day running of the accounts while also keeping the office running smoothly, with a high level of autonomy and trust. On a daily basis, you’ll manage full bookkeeping duties using Sage 50, including processing sales and purchase ledger transactions, maintaining accurate financial records, and performing bank reconciliations. You’ll be responsible for preparing and submitting VAT returns, as well as handling all aspects of CIS verification and administration. Alongside the finance responsibilities, you’ll support general office operations, from managing emails and supplier queries to keeping documentation organised and up to date. This is a varied role that will suit someone who enjoys being at the heart of a small business where a proactive approach is key. The role offers full flexibility on working hours and days, with part-time options available for someone confident they can manage the workload effectively.
What you'll need to succeed
You’ll have proven experience in a similar all-round bookkeeping role within an SME environment, where you’ve been used to taking ownership and working independently. Strong working knowledge of Sage 50 is essential, along with hands-on experience of CIS, including verification and compliance, as this is a key part of the role. You’ll also be confident preparing and submitting VAT returns without supervision. You’ll bring a self-sufficient, organised, and proactive mindset, with the ability to manage your own workload and prioritise effectively. As this is a small team, you’ll need to be comfortable getting involved and supporting both finance and office administration when needed. A flexible, can-do attitude and the confidence to operate in a standalone role will be key to success in this position.
What you'll get in return
In return, you’ll join a friendly, close-knit business where you’ll be trusted to take ownership and make a real impact. The role offers genuine flexibility around working hours and days to suit your lifestyle, along with the opportunity to work in a varied, hands-on position within a supportive SME environment.
