This half-day opportunity is for 4 mornings per week (probably from 9.00am to 1.00pm). The role cannot be viewed as a stop-gap and must be viewed as a relatively long-term opportunity. It would be ideal for a mature candidate who is not wanting to retire completely yet, who has previously had similar experience, and would be happy to work at this level. In addition, would have good electronic accounting packages experience, and Sage Cloud Accounting would be a real advantage.
