Are you an experienced bookkeeper looking for a genuinely flexible, part-time role?
The British Swimming Pool Federation is looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic, and trustworthy individual to join their small team in Andover.
If you are organised, comfortable with Sage accounts (multi-company) and preferably Sage Cloud Payroll, and happy working closely with a small team, we would love to hear from you.
The role would suit someone with very good interpersonal skills, who has excellent attention to detail. The role is offered to someone wanting to have a long-term, part-time challenge.
It is envisaged that the person will wish to be self-employed, but an employed option can be discussed, if applicable (the hourly rate would then be negotiable).
The role reports directly to the MD. While some of the work will be based in Andover, there is potential for hybrid working.
We are happy for the successful candidate to choose working days that suit them, provided key tasks are completed in a timely manner.
There is a need for the right person to undertake key tasks, supported by other BSPF teamnmembers, to ensure the smooth operation of the financial roles relating to five companies. Those companies are:
-
British Swimming Pool Federation (BSPF)
-
British and Irish Spa and Hot Tub Association (BISHTA)

Pool Industry Promotions (PIP)
-
Swimming Pool and Allied Trades Association (SPATA)
-
SPATEX (the annual trade exhibition)
An hourly rate of between £20.00 - £25.00 per hour is offered for the above role, depending on experience, for a self-employed person.
The current role is envisaged to require between 8 – 12 hours per week, depending on the time of year, ideally split across a minimum of two days per week. The start and finish times are negotiable. Although some time will need to be spent in the
office in Andover, some home working may also be feasible.
The role is offered to ensure the BSPF has accurate and up to date information about the financial performance of each company.
Duties include:
All aspects of financial control, monthly management accounts, inter-company accounts and preparations for the year end accounts;
- Maintenance of the purchase ledgers – processing purchase invoices and supplier payments, reconciling to supplier statements, and preparing payment runs
- Maintenance of the sales ledgers – processing sales invoices and customer receipts
- Monthly bank, credit card & petty cash reconciliations
- Preparation of quarterly VAT returns, ensuring appropriate checks and controls prior to submission
- Preparation of quarterly financial reports, statements, and budgets in accordance with organisational policies
- Preparing and processing the monthly payroll, ensuring accurate data input and timely payments, and administering pension-related processes
- General bookkeeping and accounts administration as required
- While Payroll is currently included, there are discussions about whether to outsource this aspect of the role.
Requirements:
Must be suitably qualified and/or experienced in bookkeeping / management accounting.- Must be computer literate (especially Excel) and experience of Sage 50 Accounts is a necessity, and Sage Cloud Payroll would also be ideal.
- Closing date: Friday 17th July 2026 (midday).
