Job Description
20four7VA is recruiting a part-time administrative and executive assistant to support a UK-based business. Contractors are bound by an MSA and a SOW, and the posting makes clear this is a contract arrangement rather than a job offer. The work is remote, with 10 contracted hours each week across Monday to Friday and early-morning UK working time still to be determined.
Most of the work centers on the owner's main mailbox. The contractor spots urgent messages, flags items that need the owner's decision, drafts routine replies when authorized, and keeps the inbox tidy. Other tasks include maintaining logs and records, tracking deadlines, passing supplier invoices into bookkeeping software via designated addresses, and noticing missing paperwork. Finance tasks are light and follow written procedures: matching supplier statements to Xero records, updating customer payment dates, and raising mismatches. Compliance work includes tracking client identification files, risk-review dates and documented anti-money-laundering steps.
The posting asks for previous administrative, executive assistant or business support work, excellent written English, and strong organization and attention to detail. Xero or other bookkeeping software experience is welcome but not required, because the client's procedures will guide finance tasks. The contractor should pick up new systems quickly, work independently and treat client and financial details with discretion. Junior and senior profiles are both considered. Competitive rates and weekly payments are mentioned, though no hourly figure is given.
Responsibilities
- Keep the owner's main mailbox organized, flagging urgent items and open replies.
- Draft or send routine emails only when the owner has approved them.

- Forward supplier invoices into bookkeeping software using designated addresses.
- Match supplier statements to Xero records and update invoice payment dates.
- Monitor client identification files, risk-review dates and compliance deadlines.
- Raise discrepancies and missing documents with the owner or the right colleague.
Requirements
- Prior work in administration, executive support, office operations or business support.
- Clear written English and polished email habits.
- Excellent organization and an eye for detail.
- Quick learner of new software and procedures who can juggle multiple deadlines.
- Works independently and follows documented procedures.
- Discreet handling of confidential client and financial information.
Qualifications
- Background handling email queues and inboxes.
- Some exposure to Xero or similar accounting software.
- Experience with invoice admin or light finance support.
- Helpful: past work for British companies or advisory firms.
- Awareness of data-protection law (GDPR), AML paperwork or compliance logs.
