Job Summary
We are a dynamic rural enterprise in the upper Tweed Valley, managing a diversified farming and leisure business across five operating divisions — including organic sheep and cattle, holiday lets, rural tourism and events. Day-to-day bookkeeping is managed at farm level, with accounts preparation and payroll handled centrally.
The Role
A straightforward but important role: keeping our books clean, current, and well-coded so that our central finance team can do their job efficiently. You will work primarily at the farm office, with a degree of flexibility to work from home at times to be agreed.

- Solid bookkeeping experience — purchase ledger, sales ledger, general ledger

- Self-sufficient and reliable with a strong eye for detail — this role suits someone who can work quietly and accurately without close supervision
