Bookkeeper & Finance Lead

Introduction

AIRDAT is a UK based systems, training & consultancy company providing services specifically to the Aviation sector. Our products relate to the management of training, assurance, compliance, fleet and auditing. In addition, AIRDAT offers airports an array of support services.

Over the last few years, AIRDAT has expanded its services to include billing on behalf of airports for training, permits and licencing. We offer clients options to pay by card, account and account credits. Whilst much of this is automated, we require a bookkeeper and finance lead to oversee the company’s day to day invoicing, purchasing and reconciliation, VAT, credit control, payroll, expenses, & client queries.

At AIRDAT, it’s about life-work balance. You can expect 28 days off, plus public holidays and further time during the Christmas period too. The company also runs around 6 free ‘activity days’ throughout the year (including things like Go Karting, Off-Road Driving, Shooting, Kayaking) - you can vote for other activities you’d like to do and you can book onto as many of these as you like (or not!).

You’ll be provided with all the equipment you need and we reserve an annual budget to help improve skills and further your development too.

You’ll be empowered and working as part of a small, highly supportive agile team, delivering bespoke, complex systems to the aviation industry. Most importantly, we take our work seriously, but never ourselves.

Our company values are Proactive, Evolving, Confident and Supportive - these should resonate with any potential applicants.

The Role

For this immediately available role we are considering those who can work 3 days per week upwards to full time. This role will be home-based but there will be a need to travel to Canterbury for training and to meet with the management team when required.
