A reputable and expanding distribution company is currently recruiting for a Part-Time Accountant / Bookkeeper to take ownership of its core finance operations. This role is based on-site in Watford and offers 25 hours per week across five days.

This is a varied and hands-on position suited to an experienced UK finance professional with strong bookkeeping expertise, particularly within multi-currency and international trading environments.

Key responsibilities include managing purchase ledger processes, reconciling multiple bank accounts (GBP, EUR, USD), handling supplier payments, and supporting sales ledger activities.

You will work closely with internal stakeholders while liaising with external accountants, contributing to quarterly management reporting and year-end preparation. The position requires strong Excel skills to support financial analysis and reporting.

The ideal candidate will have over 10 years’ UK accounts experience, be proficient in Sage 50, and demonstrate a strong understanding of VAT, import duties, and multi-currency transactions.
