Recruitment

HatHats Coffee Company is on a really exciting journey to becoming a £5 million business by 2025. As part of our journey, we’re preparing to open additional coffee outlets across Kent and surrounding counties.

With more outlets on the horizon, we’re looking to grow our Finance Team and are searching for a bookkeeper/finance officer to join our lovely team.

We’re looking for someone who will become a key support to our in-house accountant and other members of our finance team, which currently consists of a finance assistant and an AAT apprentice.

The successful candidate will be required to perform numerous financial data inputting and data processing tasks. They will also be required to assist with bank reconciliation and payroll. Oh, and there will also be a spot of scanning and tea/coffee making, as well as any other ad-hoc tasks that need doing around the office.

If you’re an experienced bookkeeper or are experienced in working in a finance role/s, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

The important bits you’ll need to know…

· You will be based at our head office in Whitstable and will have access to as much coffee as you can drink! We are located on the John Wilson Business Park (a 5-minute walk from Chestfield and Swalecliffe Station, and often referred to as ‘the estate behind Sainsburys’)

HatHats Coffee Company was founded by serial entrepreneur Louis Hurst and his wife Lisa, in 2015.

HatHats Coffee Company is a business that obsesses about coffee, customer service, and always doing the right thing for the communities we’re based in and the environment. ‘Doing good’ is at the heart of who we are. It helps us to make all the important decisions, and most of all, it keeps us doing our little bit to help make the world a better place.

They delight our customers. They do amazing things. They love their work. So, it makes sense for us to create a place where people can be happy and brilliant.
