Contract:

Reports to:

Finance Director

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Estate is a multifaceted operation encompassing construction, property, agriculture, online retail, charitable interests and other ventures. You will be joining a small, dedicated team supporting both the Sacombe House project and the Chairman's wider business interests.

We are looking for a driven and detail-oriented Accounts Assistant to join us at Sacombe Park. This temp-to-perm position is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or early-career professional to build strong, practical finance experience across a variety of entities and projects.

This is more than just a bookkeeping role - it is a chance to grow, learn, and help shape financial systems and processes. Due to the nature of the work and the principals involved, this is a fully office-based role.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Support day-to-day bookkeeping and accounts administration, including entering invoices, reconciling transactions and preparing payment runs. Assist in producing monthly management reports, expense summaries and cash flow updates. Contribute to the Finance transformation project. Help implement and improve internal systems, from streamlining processes to introducing new tools for greater efficiency and accuracy. Work across multiple business entities, gaining exposure to different sectors and structures. Liaise with suppliers, contractors and colleagues to ensure smooth financial operations. Maintain accurate records and digital filing systems. Contribute ideas and take initiative - your input will be listened to, valued and encouraged.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

A degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience). Confident with numbers and highly organised, with excellent attention to detail. Proficient in Excel and ideally familiar with accounting platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage. A proactive, positive attitude, keen to learn, take responsibility and grow within the team. Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset. Must hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a car (the location is rural and not accessible by public transport).
If you want to be part of a close-knit, supportive team where your contributions are noticed and valued; gain hands-on experience across a variety of financial tasks and entities where no two days are the same; and have the opportunity to grow into a permanent role with increasing responsibility and development potential, all while working from the beautiful grounds of Sacombe Park, surrounded by nature and history, we'd love to hear from you.
