Astute Recruitment is working with a small, established business in the Nottingham area to recruit an experienced Part-Time Bookkeeper. This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership of day-to-day bookkeeping, maintaining accurate financial records and supporting the smooth running of a business.
Working closely with the business owner, you will manage a range of finance responsibilities, from reconciliations and invoice processing through to credit control, VAT and financial reporting. There will also be opportunities to improve existing processes and make the day-to-day finance function more efficient. The role offers flexibility across three weekdays, with the initial three-month contract offering potential for extension or a longer-term opportunity.
Key responsibilities:
* Manage day-to-day bookkeeping using Sage Cloud and Xero.
* Maintain accurate nominal ledger coding and process journal entries.
* Complete bank, card and relevant control account reconciliations.
* Process sales and purchase invoices, allocate customer receipts and record supplier payments.
* Check supplier invoices, pricing discrepancies, credit notes and additional charges.
* Support VAT returns, including appropriate VAT treatments and domestic reverse-charge requirements.
* Monitor aged debt, issue customer statements and chase overdue payments.
* Reconcile supplier statements and assist with payment-run preparation.
* Prepare financial information, including profit and loss figures, aged balances, cash-flow information and management reports.
* Support payroll administration, staff expenses and year-end preparation where required.
* Maintain accurate financial records and supporting documentation.
* Identify opportunities to improve bookkeeping processes, reporting and financial controls.
About you:
We are looking for someone with strong practical bookkeeping experience who can work independently and manage their workload with accuracy and confidence.
You will ideally have:
* Proven hands-on bookkeeping experience.
* Practical experience using both Sage Cloud and Xero.
* A good understanding of nominal ledger coding, journals and bank reconciliations.
* Experience processing invoices and managing customer and supplier accounts.
* Knowledge of VAT, including the ability to identify relevant VAT treatments.
* Confident Microsoft Excel skills and good general IT ability.
* Strong attention to detail, organisation and communication skills.
* A proactive approach and the ability to take ownership of day-to-day responsibilities.
Experience with payroll, pensions, management reporting, year-end preparation or improving financial processes would be advantageous.
