THE ROLE

We’re looking for someone with a head for numbers and a heart for systems to support our Financial Controller and co-founders. You’ll be the go-to for keeping our ledgers neat, our suppliers sweet, and our cashflow smooth as buttercream.

This role is part-time, freelance, and perfect for someone who wants to grow their experience while working flexibly. You’ll work independently from home but stay well-mixed into the team with regular catch-ups and monthly in-person meetings.

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY:

• Keep our books beautifully balanced in Xero

• Reconcile bank accounts and credit card transactions

• Upload and process receipts/invoices via Hubdoc

• Make sure everything’s HMRC-compliant for VAT returns

• Support weekly pay runs and monthly cashflow reports

• Monitor incoming/outgoing payments and chase overdue invoices

• Assist with payroll prep and supplier payments

• Help whip up financial reports and month-end summaries

• Support our Financial Controller with ad-hoc tasks

• Meet with the team monthly to stay aligned and sprinkled with context

YOUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS:

• UK-based and happy to spread your hours Mon–Fri

• AAT Level 2 (or equivalent) – the cherry on top

• Experienced with Xero, Hubdoc and Excel

• Strong attention to detail and a natural flour for finance

• Organised and proactive

• Friendly, professional and great at keeping things confidential

• A real team mixer with great communication skills

• Able to pop in for monthly meetings in London or Birmingham

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Flexible, remote freelance work

• Be part of the UK’s most joyful event experience

• The chance to shape and streamline our financial systems

• Opportunities to grow with a scaling, values-led brand

• Monthly in-person catch-ups and plenty of cake-based metaphors

  If you know your way around a ledger like we know our way around a piping bag, we’d love to hear from you.

• Apply now and help us keep things sweet behind the scenes.
