Let's talk about the role...

As an Administration Manager, you’ll be the heart of our Hereford office. You’ll lead our admin team, support our CEO, and be the go-to person for colleagues and clients alike. No two days are the same: one moment you’ll be organising a busy diary, the next you’ll be onboarding a new client or helping the team get a submission over the line. You’ll:

• Provide high-level administrative and PA support to the CEO and wider management team.
• Oversee the day-to-day running of the administration team, supporting workloads, staff development and general team coordination.
• Manage front-of-house and reception duties, ensuring the smooth running of the office and a welcoming environment for clients and visitors.
• Oversee finance administration, including client invoicing, payments and related queries.
• Manage the new client onboarding process, ensuring a positive client experience and accurate records across our systems.
• Provide administrative support across the wider business, assisting departments with day-to-day requirements and ensuring key deadlines are met.
• Coordinate general HR administration, supporting employee records and the joiner, leaver and absence processes.

Let's talk about you and your skills...

Hungry for a new challenge, you’ll:

• Have proven experience in an administration or office management role, ideally within accountancy or professional services
• Be a natural people person, confident leading, coaching and supporting others (including an apprentice)
• Be brilliantly organised, able to juggle competing priorities and keep calm when things get busy
• Communicate clearly and warmly with clients, colleagues and senior leaders, in person, on the phone and in writing
• Be confident with Microsoft Office and Outlook, with experience of Xero or similar accounting software (or a keen willingness to learn)
• Have a sharp eye for detail and a professional, discreet approach when handling confidential information
• Be flexible, positive and happy to roll up your sleeves to help other teams when they need it
