UK Based Bookkeeper and Accounts Admin Assistant for Ongoing Part Time Work

I am a director of a UK limited company and am looking for an experienced UK based bookkeeper or accounts administrator to take ownership of my ongoing UK financial administration. This is not a CFO, Finance Director, or strategic finance role. I need someone hands on. I already have an accountant, but I need someone between me and the various administrative responsibilities who makes sure everything actually gets done. The work will include: HMRC correspondence and follow ups Companies House deadlines and administration Liaising with my accountant Company accounts and tax administration Personal Self Assessment administration Investigating penalties and late charges Making calls and chasing outstanding matters where authorised Organising financial and tax records Maintaining a calendar of all important deadlines Preparing and organising documentation Helping organise financial documents for a future UK mortgage application There is currently some historical administration and outstanding matters that need to be cleaned up. After that, I expect the role to require approximately 10 to 15 hours per month. The most important thing I am looking for is ownership. I do not want someone who reviews everything and then gives me a large list of homework. I want someone who investigates issues, searches for information, talks to my accountant, contacts the relevant organisations where authorised, chases people, keeps records organised, and takes matters as far as reasonably possible before asking me to get involved. You must be physically based in the UK and have strong experience with UK accounting and tax administration. This role could be particularly suitable for someone who has spent many years working in a UK accountancy practice or SME finance department and now wants a small amount of flexible ongoing work. Budget: GBP 20 to GBP 30 per hour depending on experience.
