A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced, practice-based Bookkeeper to join a highly successful, rapidly expanding family-run accountancy practice.
The firm has recently experienced an exceptional surge in client growth and is now looking for a dedicated bookkeeping professional to take ownership of VAT returns and day-to-day bookkeeping. This critical hire will play a key role in streamline operations, allowing the wider accounting team to focus on accounts preparation. This is a dedicated, pure bookkeeping position, ideal for an organised professional who loves the client bookkeeping cycle and is looking to make the role their own.

• Take full ownership of and manage VAT returns for a diverse and growing portfolio of clients.
• Perform high-quality, day-to-day bookkeeping duties for clients.
• Utilise Xero, Sage, and Quick Books to maintain accurate financial records.
• Directly manage physical paperwork brought in by clients and actively support efforts to transition them onto cloud-based software.
• Liaise directly with clients to resolve bookkeeping queries and collect outstanding records.
• Collaborate closely with the wider team to ensure all deadlines are met efficiently.

• Minimum of 3 years of accountancy practice experience is essential.
• AAT Level 3 or Level 4 qualification is highly preferred.
• Hands-on, proficient software experience with Xero, Sage, and Quick Books is mandatory (practical competency will be discussed at interview).
• Strong technical understanding of VAT return preparation and submissions.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills, with a friendly and professional manner.
• Comfortable working primarily from the office to manage physical client paperwork, though reasonable flexibility can be discussed.
• Must be comfortable in a pure bookkeeping position (this role does not transition or develop into accounts preparation).

• Salary around £30,000 (dependent on experience).
• Standard workplace pension scheme.
• Standard holiday allowance.
• Free public parking directly behind the office building.
• A friendly, supportive, and close-knit family-run team environment (currently numbering around 16 staff).
• A touch of flexibility with working arrangements.
