Overview

We are working exclusively with an established Bedford based business looking to appoint an experienced Bookkeeper to join them on a permanent, part-time basis.

This is a varied, hands-on position for someone who enjoys taking ownership of the day-to-day finance function, working closely with the Directors and ensuring the numbers are accurate and everything runs as it should.
