We’re looking for someone who wants more than just processing numbers, someone who takes pride in producing accurate, meaningful work and enjoys being a valued part of a supportive, professional team.
Whether you already have experience in practice or are looking to build on a solid foundation in accounts, we’re happy to invest in the right person.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll play a key role in supporting the Managers and Partner within our Business Services and Accounts department, managing your own portfolio of bookkeeping and accounting clients while contributing to wider team projects.
Your work will include:
* Providing bookkeeping services and paying supplier bills
* Preparing VAT returns and tax computations
* Producing monthly and quarterly management accounts
* Preparing year-end financial accounts from:
* In-house bookkeeping records
* Client records (including incomplete or disorganised sets)
* Ensuring statutory returns are completed accurately and filed on time
* Supporting managers and partners with workflow coordination
* Assisting with ad hoc projects and special assignments
You’ll have real ownership of your workload, with the opportunity to build trusted relationships with clients.
About You
You’re someone who:
* Has strong organisational and time management skills
* Can plan ahead, anticipate bottlenecks and juggle priorities confidently
* Knows when to escalate issues and when to take initiative
* Has excellent attention to detail and produces neat, accurate work
* Communicates clearly and professionally
* Enjoys building positive working relationships
* Is numerate, methodical and confident with written English
Experience in a bookkeeping or practice environment is preferred — but not essential. If you bring the right attitude, aptitude and willingness to learn, we’ll support your development.
Technical Skills
You’ll need to be:
* IT literate
* Confident using Microsoft Word and Excel
* Familiar with (or keen to learn) major bookkeeping software such as:
* Xero
* Sage
* QuickBooks
* Iris
* Hands-on experience with these systems is advantageous, but your willingness to develop and expand your knowledge is just as important.
What You’ll Gain
* A supportive environment with direct exposure to Managers and Partners
* Variety in your day-to-day work
* The opportunity to manage your own client portfolio
* Ongoing development and software training
This role would suit someone who enjoys responsibility, values precision, and wants to grow within a professional, client-focused environment.
If you’re looking for a role where your contribution genuinely matters and your development is supported, we’d love to hear from you.
