Office & Accounts Manager

Accounts Manager & Office Administrator 
M&E Specialist Contractor 
Petts Wood, Kent 
£40k - £55k DOE 
Immediate Start 

Looking for a role where your Sage super-powers and love of smooth-running offices actually shape the success of projects?

Exceptional opening to join a trusted client of mine, a £6 million-turnover Mechanical & Electrical contractor delivering everything from data cabling to district heating across the capital and Home Counties – as their new Office & Accounts Manager at their Orpington HQ, Monday to Friday.

(Hours flexible dependent on candidate circumstances)

The Opportunity:
  
You’ll own the full finance cycle in Sage – raising and posting all purchase and sales invoices, reconciling multi-bank accounts, and producing crisp monthly management reports that keep our £25k–£2.2m projects on track.

At the same time, you’ll captain day-to-day office operations for a friendly team, making sure supplies, systems, payroll and the odd project celebration all run without a hitch.
  
What You’ll Do:
  

• Control the numbers – end-to-end Sage processing, bank feeds and reconciliations, supplier statement matching and VAT returns.
• Own month-end – journals, P&L, cash-flow snapshots, plus prep for year-end and external accountants.
• Keep the office humming – manage everything from stationery to subcontractor onboarding, supervise a small admin assistant and act as first point of contact for visitors and calls.
• Support HR & payroll – collate timesheets, liaise with outsourced payroll and maintain HR files.
• Be their Sage champion – train colleagues on best practice and help exploit every Sage module.

What You’ll Bring:
  

• Fluent Sage skills with proven bank-rec and report-generation wizardry.
• Solid bookkeeping/management-accounts experience (construction or M&E a bonus).
• Natural organiser who can juggle invoices, suppliers and stationery orders without breaking a sweat.
• Confident communicator – you’ll liaise daily with engineers, directors and blue-chip clients.

  
Why Them?
  

• Big-impact projects, small-company feel – help power landmark builds while working one-to-one with directors who still know everyone’s name.
• Stability & growth – 20+ years’ trading, repeat clients and memberships of BESA, ECA, Gas Safe and more.
• Competitive package – starting from £40k - £55k (depending on experience in accounts, construction etc) plus holiday, pension and free parking.
• On-site golden retriever meet-and-greets (seriously, the directors bring the office dog in on Fridays!).

Feel this is for you?

Come and be the backbone of an M&E business that keeps the South-East switched on – I look forward to hearing from you! APPLY NOW!
