📣 BOOKKEEPER / OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR WANTED – FORFAR

I’m looking for an experienced and confident Bookkeeper / Office Administrator to take ownership of the admin and bookkeeping side of a busy construction business based in Forfar, Angus.

The office side of the business has been neglected and needs someone who isn’t afraid of a challenge! Initially, I need someone confident enough to come in, get everything organised and up to date, introduce good processes and take ownership of keeping things running smoothly.

What I’m looking for:
• Advanced knowledge of QuickBooks – essential
• Strong bookkeeping and general administration experience
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Confident working independently and using your own initiative
• Proactive, someone who sees what needs done and gets on with it
• Construction industry experience would be a bonus, but isn’t essential

📍 Location & flexibility

The role is based in Forfar and will initially require you to be office-based while everything is brought up to date and organised.

Once things are running smoothly, the role can become predominantly home-based, with occasional visits to the Forfar office as and when you feel they’re needed.

The hours are not set in stone. There is plenty of flexibility and you can largely work your own hours, I’m more interested in finding someone reliable who gets the job done than having someone tied to a strict 9–5.

This would really suit someone who enjoys getting stuck in, creating order from a bit of chaos and making a role their own.

📩 Interested? Send me a message with a little about yourself, your bookkeeping and QuickBooks experience, and your availability.
