Job Description
If you’re the kind of person who spots the missing decimal place before anyone else does, enjoys bringing order to messy records, and quietly takes pride in work being right first time, this could be a role you’ll genuinely enjoy.
We’re looking for someone organised, proactive, and detail-focused to support a busy accounts and business services team with a varied portfolio of clients. This isn’t a repetitive data-entry position, you’ll be trusted with meaningful work, direct client interaction, and the opportunity to develop your technical skills across a broad range of bookkeeping and accounting responsibilities.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll support managers and senior team members with a mixture of bookkeeping, accounts preparation, and client support work, including:
* Preparing bookkeeping records and maintaining accurate financial data
* Completing VAT returns and tax-related computations
* Producing monthly and quarterly management accounts
* Preparing year-end accounts from both complete and incomplete client records
* Ensuring statutory deadlines and submissions are met
* Managing your workload effectively across multiple clients and priorities
* Supporting ad hoc finance and business projects when required
What matters most
Experience is welcome, but attitude, accuracy, and willingness to learn matter just as much. Training can be provided for the right person.
You’ll likely enjoy this role if you:
* Like structure, organisation, and getting things properly finished
* Can juggle multiple deadlines without losing attention to detail
* Communicate professionally and build strong working relationships
* Take ownership rather than waiting to be asked
* Are naturally methodical and reliable
* Want to build your knowledge and confidence in accounting software and client work
Skills & experience
Ideally, you’ll have:
* Good working knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel
* Experience with bookkeeping/accounting software such as Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, Iris, or similar (preferred, not essential)
* Strong written English and numerical skills
* A professional, client-focused approach
* Flexibility
* Full-time and Part-time applications are welcome
* Ideally a minimum of 20 hours per week
* Training and development support available
This role would suit someone with bookkeeping or practice experience, an accounts assistant looking for more variety and responsibility, or someone returning to finance/accounting work who wants flexibility without sacrificing interesting work.
If you don’t hear from us within 5 working days, please consider your application unsuccessful for this position. We appreciate your interest and encourage you to apply for future opportunities with us
