We're hiring: Finance Manager (Part Time, 25 hrs/week) - Glasgow (1 day per week / hybrid)
T S Europe Ltd is a Glasgow-based freight forwarding and logistics business with a close-knit team of 10. We're looking for a Finance Manager to take full ownership of our day-to-day finance function, working closely with our Managing Director and leadership team.
The role
Hands-on and varied, covering transaction processing, payroll, VAT, and basic management accounts. You'll independently manage and reconcile:
- Sales invoices: 200-250 per month
- Purchases: 1,200-1,500 per month
- Bank transactions: 200-300 per month
You'll be the go-to person for finance questions, resolving them yourself rather than escalating. For the right person, there's real scope to grow into a Financial Controller role as we scale.
