Job Title: Senior Bookkeeper \n Location: Aston Rowe Estate Agents, Acton, West London \n Salary: £30-£35 per hour depending on experience \n Job Type: Contract / Freelance, Part Time \n For somebody working alongside the business, we expect the role to take approximately 35 hours per month initially, reducing to around 20-28 hours per month once the processes and systems are familiar.
