The Role

Your main responsibility will be to take ownership of the firms administration function, ensuring the administration processes that support a busy accounting firm are compliant, efficient and operating smoothly. Train and mentor the administrative support and front-of-house teams to ensure a smooth workflow and evenly shared workload, all the while creating a positive, team oriented and high performing environment.
