Kidlington, United Kingdom The Slow Cyclist Full time

**Company description**

At The Slow Cyclist we specialise in carefully crafted small group cycling holidays to Europe and Africa. We believe travel is worth taking time over; that a great holiday means getting under the skin of a place and getting to know the people, history, customs and food that make it special. And we love doing what we do. Exploring incredible parts of the world and sharing them with our guests makes us happy. But we don’t want to be just another travel company. We want to make a genuine difference to people’s lives.

**Job description**

We are looking for a solid ‘all rounder’ who takes pride in doing a great job of day to day finance / accounting tasks.

Within this context, we are open minded about the type of applicant. As well as career Finance Assistants, the role may also be suited to someone who is winding down or adapting from a career as a Finance Manager or someone who is gaining experience with the aim of becoming a Finance Manager over time, a position which will no doubt become a requirement at The Slow Cyclist as we grow. The role could even be suitable to someone who is in the final stages of or just completed relevant professional qualifications.

Whilst we do not expect travel industry experience, it would be ideal if you have it.

**The Role**

Your primary responsibilities will be centered around the basic financial housekeeping of the business:

- Helping with the annual budgeting process
- Helping to prepare quarterly management accounts, providing the information needed to our external bookkeeper/accountant
- Helping to prepare VAT returns, providing the information needed to our external bookkeeper/accountant
- Managing and tracking guest payments
- Managing and paying supplier invoices
- Tracking revenue and costs against relevant trips
- Financial reconciliations
- Managing balances across various company accounts
- Managing and tracking company card expenditure
- Working with the Commercial director to manage forex risk
- Processing expenses claims
- Helping to track key financial metrics in the business
- Preparing regular reports
- Payroll
- Liaising with our external accountant and bookkeeper

**Key Skills & Competencies**
- Knowledge of Google or Microsoft Office packages
- Highly competent on spreadsheets
- Accounting software experience, preferably Xero
- Very organised and efficient
- Proactive self-starter
- Great attention to detail
- Good communication skills
- Excellent multi-tasker

**Basis**

Part time, 2-3 days per week, to be agreed. Over time this could develop into a full time role.

**Salary**

The advertised salary rate of £24-28,000 per year is the full time equivalent salary (5 days per week). As this is a part-time position, your pay would be pro-rated according to how many days you work e.g. if you work 2.5 days per week, the salary would be £12-14,000 per year.

**Location**

Working arrangements can be a flexible mix of home and office. The office is currently at Shenington (near Banbury) but we are looking to relocate our office closer to Oxford.

**Job Type**: Part-time

**Salary**: £24,000.00-£28,000.00 per year

**Benefits**:

- Company pension
- Cycle to work scheme
- On-site parking
