Bookkeeper

Are you a bookkeeper who enjoys doing a good job, but would like to do it in a more supportive environment? This is a great opportunity to join a well-established boutique accountancy firm in Oldham with a strong and loyal client base. It is a down-to-earth business where the partners genuinely care about their people and make sure the team is looked after.

The culture is relaxed, friendly and supportive. You will not simply be left to get on with things and only spoken to when there is a problem. The partners take the time to check in with their team regularly, understand how people are getting on and provide support when it is needed. The role itself will involve working with a varied portfolio of clients and completing a range of bookkeeping duties, including bookkeeping, VAT returns, reconciliations and general client accounts work.

You will also speak directly with clients and HMRC, so you will need to be comfortable and confident on the telephone. This role could suit someone at the early stages of their accountancy career who wants to join a firm that will support their studies and help them progress. Equally, it would suit an experienced practice bookkeeper who knows their way around client work and is simply looking for a well-run firm where they can do a great job without the unnecessary pressure or politics.

You will be trusted to get on with your work, while having approachable partners and colleagues around you when you need advice or support. There is a genuine opportunity to develop your skills, take on more responsibility and build a long-term career with the firm. What matters most is that you are:
Experienced in bookkeeping, ideally within an accountancy practice Comfortable working with a range of clients Confident speaking with clients and HMRC Organised, reliable and able to manage your own workload Someone who takes pride in producing accurate, high-quality work Keen to work somewhere supportive, friendly and genuinely team-focused In return, you will receive a competitive salary, ongoing support and the opportunity to study and progress if that is what you want to do.

Most importantly, you will be joining a firm where people are treated well, the partners are approachable and everyone is encouraged to do their best work in a positive environment. If you are looking for a change and would like to work somewhere that feels more supportive, more personal and less corporate, this could be a very good move.
