Bookkeeper
This company does not have a finance function. The Head of Business Operations has been processing the invoices, payments, and expenses but they need a dedicated finance person to take on these duties and report to them. Hence, this newly created role will provide day-to-day financial bookkeeping to the company.
Division: Finance
Salary: £24k - 29k per year

But for the shorter-term, you will need to be passionate about performing the duties of this specific junior-mid level role and requirements.
