Whether you're a recent finance graduate, studying AAT, or already have up to 2 years of bookkeeping experience
- We want to hear from you!

Overview

A well-established and growing Accountancy Practice is looking to recruit a Trainee Bookkeeper to join their friendly and supportive team. This is an excellent opportunity for somebody looking to build a successful long-term career within accountancy, gaining exposure to a wide variety of clients and bookkeeping responsibilities. Working closely with senior members of the team, you'll support a portfolio of clients with bookkeeping, VAT returns and the preparation of management accounts, whilst also playing an important role in maintaining the firm's internal systems and onboarding new clients.

Duties
  • Assist with bookkeeping for a varied portfolio of clients
  • Process sales and purchase ledger transactions
  • Perform bank reconciliations and maintain accurate financial records
  • Prepare and submit VAT returns
  • Support the preparation of management accounts
  • Maintain and update practice management systems to ensure client information is accurate and organised

Any exposure to bookkeeping, finance studies or accounting software would be advantageous, but attitude and willingness to learn are the most important qualities.
