A LOW-cost service aims to help community groups in rural north Durham balance their books.
Susan Bell has been appointed as accounts administrator at the Enterprise and Development Centre in The Bye, The Grove, near Consett.
Along with supervising wages and accounts for the centre, Mrs Bell, of Castleside, will work with voluntary organisations and groups.
For a nominal fee, she will organise payrolls and can also act as an independent auditor for their annual audit.
Vincent McArdle, 51, of Hamsterley, who is enterprise and development manager at the centre, said: "The service is aimed at small community groups who cannot do their own payroll or need an independent auditor."
