About The Position

Pickle supports founders, operators and business owners who need accurate books, reliable financial reporting and someone they can trust to keep the numbers under control. We work with ambitious, fast-moving businesses across a range of sectors, providing experienced fractional professionals who become a trusted extension of their team. This is not a traditional employed role. Our professionals work on a fractional basis across multiple client engagements, delivering high-quality work, managing their own schedules and building long-term client relationships through reliability, expertise and professionalism. If you enjoy variety, autonomy and working directly with growing businesses, we'd love to hear from you.

Our client is a fast-growing, AI-driven business operating at a significant pace and scale. As the business continues to grow, they are looking for an experienced UK Bookkeeper to take ownership of day-to-day financial operations and ensure the finance function remains accurate, organised and dependable. This is a dedicated contractor engagement, requiring full-time availability and a proactive, hands-on approach. The successful candidate will become a key part of the operational backbone of the business, helping maintain financial accuracy while supporting a rapidly evolving organisation. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in high-growth environments, thrives on ownership and accountability, and can confidently manage a busy workload without requiring close supervision.
