Part-Time Finance & Office Manager
Long Crendon
Part-time | 20–25 hours per week
We are working with a well-established business in Long Crendon that is looking for a practical, organised and experienced Finance & Office Manager to join their team on a part-time basis.
This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership of day-to-day finance while also helping to keep the wider office and business running smoothly. The position would suit someone who is confident working independently and comfortable being involved in a broad range of responsibilities across accounts, office management, facilities and general business support.
This is not a purely corporate finance role. The successful candidate will be happy working in a small business environment where flexibility, common sense and a “get things done” approach are just as important as strong finance experience.

* Assisting with Companies House submissions and other business administration
* Supporting internal systems, processes and general operational improvements
* Acting as a key point of contact for general office matters and day-to-day business support
* Liaising with colleagues, suppliers, customers and external contacts in a professional manner
* Getting involved in wider business tasks as required to help keep things running efficiently
Key Requirements of the Finance & Office Manager:
* Qualified or qualified by experience, with strong hands-on accounts knowledge and the ability to manage day-to-day finance responsibilities independently
* Previous experience in accounts, finance administration, office management or a similar hands-on SME finance role
* Strong practical accounts knowledge, ideally including VAT, reconciliations, journals and management accounts support

* Able to manage both finance duties and wider office management tasks
* Highly organised, accurate and reliable
* Strong attention to detail and able to work independently
* Practical, flexible and willing to get involved wherever needed
* Good communication skills and a professional approach
* Previous experience with CIS, invoice finance or SME accounts would be an advantage
