About Us
We are a privately owned group of businesses operating across hospitality, IT consultancy, financial services and property. Our businesses include a successful restaurant in Blackpool along with several other established companies.
As the group continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced and proactive Finance & Bookkeeping Administrator to take ownership of day-to-day financial administration across multiple companies.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in maintaining accurate records, and wants a role that offers flexibility and autonomy.
The Role
You will be responsible for the day-to-day bookkeeping and financial administration of several small-to-medium-sized businesses within the group.
Working closely with the directors, you will ensure records are accurate, up-to-date and ready for VAT returns, management reporting and year-end accounts preparation.

- Enjoys bringing order and structure to financial records

What We Offer
- Flexible working hours
- Friendly and supportive working environment
- Varied and interesting role across multiple businesses
- Opportunity to help shape internal finance processes
