Bookkeeper (Maternity Cover) - Events Agency

Bookkeeper (Maternity Cover): Keep the Numbers Behind the Magic Moving
London (Hybrid) | 10-12 month fixed-term contract | £30,000-£35,000

Behind every brilliant event is a finance team making sure everything adds up. CoCo Group is recruiting on behalf of a well-regarded events agency in London that needs a Bookkeeper for a 10-12 month maternity cover. You’ll be the person who keeps the money side running smoothly across three companies.

The role
You’ll join a friendly Finance team, reporting to the Accountant, and look after the day-to-day transactions that keep the business ticking over. No two weeks look exactly the same, but your core focus will be:
- Invoices: posting purchase and sales invoices across three companies
- Reconciliations: reconciling every bank and credit card account, and tracking down and fixing any differences
- Supplier payments: setting up the weekly payment run (plus on-demand payments when something urgent comes in), making sure every payment is accurate and properly authorised
- Events support: generating reports to help with event reconciliation
- Month-end and year-end: supporting the Accountant to keep closes smooth and stress-free
- Queries: being the friendly, reliable first port of call for questions about invoices and payments

Why you’ll love it
- Variety: three companies and a fast-moving events environment mean plenty to keep you interested
- Real ownership: your work matters. Accurate books and on-time payments keep suppliers happy and the business running
- A genuinely collaborative team: positivity, enthusiasm and a good working atmosphere are valued as much as technical skill
- Flexibility: hybrid working in London
A purpose-led business: our client is committed to building a more sustainable events industry, and you’ll have a part to play in that

About you
- You’re organised, accurate and calm when deadlines stack up. You take pride in getting the detail right, and you can juggle several things at once without dropping a ball.

You’ll bring:
- Previous experience in bookkeeping, accounts assistant or a similar finance role, ideally with availability to start immediately, if successful.
- Hands-on experience with purchase and sales ledgers, bank reconciliations and supplier payment runs
- A solid grasp of double-entry bookkeeping
- Confidence with accounting software and Microsoft Excel
- Clear written and verbal communication and a team-first attitude
- The right to work in the UK

It’s a bonus if you have:
An AAT Level 2/3 (or equivalent) qualification, though equivalent practical experience is just as welcome
Experience in events or the creative industries

The package
Salary: £30,000-£35,000, depending on experience
Contract: Full-time, 10-12 months (maternity cover)
Location: London, hybrid
