About this Role

Could you bring strong bookkeeping skills and trusted client advice to a growing independent accountancy practice?

THE ORGANISATION

Join an independent practice that supports owner-managed businesses, sole traders, partnerships and limited companies across a range of sectors. You will work in a personalised environment where accurate records help clients make confident business decisions.

  • Support a varied portfolio of bookkeeping clients.
  • Build long-term relationships with business owners and finance contacts.
  • Work within a collaborative team that values technical quality and client service.

THE ROLE

As Bookkeeping Senior, you will take ownership of client work from day-to-day processing through to reconciliations, VAT returns and month-end activity. You will also review junior colleagues’ work and help clients use cloud accounting tools effectively.

  • Complete bank reconciliations, control account reconciliations and month-end procedures.
  • Review junior team members’ work and provide practical guidance.
  • Assist with management accounts, workflow management and ad hoc client projects.

Mandatory

  • Bring at least three years’ bookkeeping experience within an accountancy practice.
  • Demonstrate strong reconciliation, VAT and cloud accounting skills.
  • Communicate clearly with clients and manage multiple deadlines effectively.

Preferred

  • Hold, or work towards, an AAT, ICB or IAB qualification.
