Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been exclusively reengaged by a new client, a long established and highly regarded retail focussed business with a reputation for high quality production and innovative technology. The business has strong routes in Devon and is widely considered to be a premium employer in the area, demonstrated by excellent employee retention and development. The company now seeks to recruit a Company Accountant to head up the finance function of this £3-4M turnover business. This is a permanent, part time role that will operate over a 3-4 day working week (with a potential full time option if preferred). The company is open to flexible working and the potential for a future hybrid arrangement to suit the successful candidate.
This will be a broad and interesting role that focusses on all areas of the end-to-end accounting function and financial health of the business. Key responsibilities to include:
- End-to-end bookkeeping using SAGE software

For this role we seek an experienced Company Accountant, Bookkeeper or Finance Manager, or perhaps an ambitious Assistant Accountant with a desire to progress. Candidate’s may be either AAT, part/fully professionally qualified or with relevant vocational experience but must have experience gained in all aspects of the day-to-day operations of a busy finance department. Previous experience gained in an SME environment would be advantageous but not essential. Good all round IT experience, particularly using SAGE, MS Excel and general Office products. The role works closely alongside a highly passionate and energetic board team, as well as multiple external stakeholders which the successful candidate will play a key role in communicating and developing strong working relationships with.
