Description

Bookkeeper - Irvine
£16.00 - £18.00 per hour | Immediate Start | Temp

We're recruiting on behalf of our client, a progressive construction firm based in Irvine, for a detail-oriented Bookkeeper to support the business during a period of transition.

With the current bookkeeper set to retire and a new team member joining in July, we're looking for someone who can confidently manage a handover period - learning from the outgoing bookkeeper and helping to onboard the new starter. This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a key role where your contribution will be genuinely valued.

You'll become the first point of contact for all finance-related matters and will work closely with colleagues across procurement, surveying, site operations, and senior leadership. If you're organised, proactive, and looking for a workplace where your skills make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

🕒 Working Hours:

Monday-Thursday: 8:00-17:00
Friday: 8:00-12:30
37.5 hours per week
Office-based in Irvine, with some flexibility depending on the candidate

🧾 Key Responsibilities:

Act as the primary contact for all finance-related queries
Manage the purchase ledger: processing and recording supplier invoices
Manage the sales ledger: issuing and recording customer invoices
Carry out daily bank and credit card reconciliations
Assist with payroll processing and HMRC submissions
Record pension contributions and manage petty cash
Book staff accommodation and manage expense claims
Handle incoming calls and assist with implementing a new phone system
Use Sage 50, Sage Payroll, and Eque2 Construct software
Liaise with external accountants to ensure accurate records and reporting
Work closely with the Quantity Surveyor and Procurement team
Support general office administration and staff queries

🎯 What We're Looking For:

Excellent attention to detail
A collaborative team player who is approachable and supportive
A proactive mindset - someone who looks for ways to improve processes
Experience in bookkeeping, ideally within the construction or related sectors
Proficiency with Sage 50 and Sage Payroll
Experience with construction software such as Eque2 Construct is advantageous

💼 Company Culture:
This is a supportive, down-to-earth office environment where people get on with the job and help each other out. There's minimal red tape and no micromanagement - just a shared commitment to doing things properly and growing together.
