Business Administrator

A growing professional services consultancy based in Maidenhead is seeking a Business Administrator to join its expanding team. This is a key hire for the business and will play an important role in supporting the day-to-day operations as the company continues to scale.

This position offers genuine variety and responsibility. You will be involved in much more than routine administration, working closely with senior leaders and supporting the wider running of the business. As the organisation grows, your contribution will be visible and impactful.

This role requires proven experience in administration, with the confidence to take ownership of responsibilities and work independently in a fast-paced, growing environment.

This role will evolve as the business grows, offering the opportunity to take on increased responsibility and develop alongside the organisation. For candidates with an interest in becoming involved in client-facing activity, there may be scope to gain exposure beyond core operations over time. Equally, this role would suit someone who prefers to build a long-term career supporting business operations.

This is a full-time, office based role.

The role

• Supporting the day-to-day running of the office, including liaising with clients and external suppliers, managing office administration and ensuring operational tasks are completed efficiently.
• Taking ownership of one or more areas of responsibility from day one, depending on experience, to help relieve operational pressure within the business.
• Supporting and maintaining internal processes and procedures, including managing documentation, shared drives and databases.
• Supporting client onboarding and engagement administration, ensuring documentation is completed, stored correctly and deadlines are met.
• Providing finance-related administrative support, including raising client invoices, managing expenses and commissions, reconciling entries and liaising with external accountants.
• Supporting wider operational and administrative tasks as required as the business continues to grow and develop.

About you

• Previous experience in an administrative or business support role, with the ability to manage responsibilities independently.
• Highly organised, accountable and detail focused, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Confident written and verbal communicator, comfortable working closely with senior stakeholders and external contacts.
• Able to use initiative, problem-solve and adapt as the business grows.
• IT literate with experience using Microsoft Office. Experience with bookkeeping software, CRM systems or similar platforms would be beneficial but is not essential.
• A proactive, reliable and professional team player.
