If you like bookkeeping but want more than data entry, this one is worth a look.
A highly successful, multi-sited accountancy firm is looking for a Client Bookkeeper to join its outsourcing team in West Sussex. The firm has grown steadily over the years and now has offices across the UK, but this particular team has kept the feel of the local practice it started out as. Partners who live locally, clients they have known for years, and a team that actually knows each other's names.
You would look after your own portfolio of owner-managed businesses across Sussex and the wider South East.
What you'll be doing:
Running the bookkeeping for your own portfolio of clients
Preparing and submitting VAT returns
Bank reconciliations, purchase and sales ledger, month-end routines
Working in Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, and helping clients get more out of them
Being the first person clients call when they have a question
What they're looking for:
Solid bookkeeping experience, ideally gained in practice or a bureau
Confident with cloud software and comfortable picking up new systems
AAT qualified, part-qualified, or qualified by experience. All three work here
Someone who enjoys client contact rather than hiding behind a screen
What's on offer:
£28,000 to £35,000 depending on experience
Hybrid working once you are settled
The backing of a national firm, with the day to day feel of a local team
Study support if you want to keep going with AAT or move towards accounts work
Free parking, and a genuinely nice spot to work
Bookkeeping roles in this part of West Sussex do not come up often, particularly with a firm of this size. If you are within reach and want the detail, get in touch
