Do you love clients and their random financial questions?

Can you hand hold?

Is variety the spice of life?

Can you juggle?

If you said yes to the above, then we might be the right fit for you. Read on and there’s a small chance it’ll be life changing for all of us!

We are Sunblink. We launched 3 years ago and our mission is to help superstar recruiters across the UK to become their own bosses and then we support them on their journey. We work with all sorts of entrepreneurial characters who have niche specialisms they recruit in, like Cyber Security or Agricultural Technology. We support them with their Tech stack, Tools, Strategy, Marketing, Admin and, yep, you’ve guessed it, finance and accounting!

Which is where you come in – well we hope you do!

For our clients, we look after everything financial for them, from chasing them for their missing receipts for their bank reconciliations to helping them plan their business futures with great forecasts and financial guidance. We help them with their company secretarial stuff, and we give them ideas on their own remuneration. (That’s why we asked if you could juggle – there’s many different tasks to keep up in the air!) And our clients properly appreciate what we do – it’s seriously a buzz to help them on their individual journeys!

Up until now, one of our founders, Pete, has been handling a lot of this finance and accounting work, with the support of our wonderful administrator, Julian, but actually, neither of them is trained in finance and both could spend their time in other worthwhile business spheres for Sunblink. We’ve got to the size with our clients that we need you, yes you, who is a trained accounting hero who would love to help our clients and us in their (and our!) hours of need.

Best thing is for you to take a look around our website and get a better feel for who we are – we could tell you we are fast growing, we’re a tight knit team, we love fresh thinking, we’ll empower you, we’ll challenge you – but you’ll see all of that when you come and meet us.

Oh yes, almost forgot – we’re really flex on working hours and location. As we like to get some team creativity going, we’d like you to get into the office at least one day a week, and if you want, you can come in every day or work from home or pick ‘n’ mix as you want.

What we are offering in exchange for your knowledge and time is the best salary we can (yeh, I know, aren’t we good!), decent holidays, study support, pension scheme and we like to pay a bonus each year when we see how the business is doing.

What we want to see in you are these qualities:

  • You’ll need to be a Part-Qualified accountant or Qualified (ICAEW/CIPFA/ACCA or equivalent) – we want to do as much as we can to help our customers!
  • It’d be great if you have some experience of developing financial systems
  • Previous payroll experience would be handy
  • As you’ll be speaking with our clients, you are going to need to be an excellent communicator and like dealing with people
  • Trust me on this one – with some of our client’s ability to confuse us and them on their accounts, problem-solving abilities is going to be an essential tool.
  • Flexible, resilient, and positive attitude will always hold you in good stead
  • We use Xero so you’ll need to be comfortable with that

We’ve got a more standard job description you can also review – it can be downloaded from here.

If you like the sound of us and think you can bring to the table what you need, then why not get in contact with Jason, our co-founder – you can reach him on 02380 205850 or email him at jason@sunblink.uk
