This is a fantastic opportunity to become the in-house Bookkeeper for a small, established professional services business in Exeter, taking ownership of a finance function that is currently outsourced.
You'll join a close-knit team, where your role will be visible, valued and integral to the day-to-day running of the business. They are specifically bringing this function in-house because they want better communication and someone who can work closely with the wider team - so this isn't a role where you'll simply be processing numbers in the background.
And the flexibility is genuine. They need 24 hours per week, but they're happy to work with the right person on how those hours are structured. That could be school hours, mornings across the week, three days or another part-time pattern that adds up to 24 hours.
