Position Overview & Specifications
Strong bookkeeper needed to support client managers in a business management firm in Central London.
FTC – 3-6 months
Black Frame is a business management firm dealing with a variety of clients working in the entertainment industry and are responsible for providing a comprehensive, all-round service with regards to their personal and business accounting and finances.

- Day-to-day bookkeeping for a range of sole traders and limited companies.
- Basic data analysis and processing for monthly client reports.
