Studio Accountant

Part Time

We’re looking for someone who is friendly, conscientious and meticulous - a natural organiser who takes real satisfaction in accurate, well-kept books. You’ll need strong working knowledge of QuickBooks, as it’s our core financial system, but we’re also looking for someone with broader confidence around technology. We’re currently expanding what QuickBooks can do for us and actively reviewing our procurement and operational processes, including exploring how AI tools can support smarter, more efficient ways of working. The right person will be curious about these opportunities, not daunted by them.

This is an office-based role at the Richmond studio, working three days per week.

•       Assist with basic short-term cashflow forecasting as required

5.  Liaison with External Accountant

•       Support year-end accounts and statutory filings prepared by External Accountant
