About BeeBee
Our founder Kath Austin started BeeBee from her kitchen and made the first sale in April 2017. Over the last 3 years the company has grown rapidly and now employs 15 people. We have made beeswax wraps for Sky Ocean Rescue designed by celebrities including Cara Delevingne, and we now supply household names including Abel & Cole, Milk & More, the Woodland Trust and the RSPB. Last year Kath braved the Dragons Den to pitch to investors, and we’re now busy expanding our range of products, with big plans for 2020 and beyond.
A bit more about the role
The Assistant Accountant role is the key finance person for the business.

The key tasks for this role will eventually include:
- Day to day bookkeeping
- Customer invoicing and credit control
- Supplier/staff payments
- Sales analysis and reconciliations
- Stock/manufacturing accounting
- Month End journals, reconciliations & P&L review
- Management of the fixed asset register and depreciation
- Financial reporting
- Budgets/cashflow forecasting
- Bank reconciliations
- VAT reporting
- Payroll preparation and submission of information to the payroll agency
- Reviewing/approving purchase orders
- Collating information for the insurance
There are also always new projects such as preparation of financial information for funders, creating profitability models for new business opportunities, and working on system improvements and documenting processes.
