Bookkeeper (Xero) & Office Manager (City of London)

Xero Bookkeeper & Office Manager

Creative Architectural Studio | Bermondsey, London

Up to £33,000 per annum (depending on experience)

A busy and growing architectural project management studio in Bermondsey is on the lookout for a highly organised and personable Bookkeeper & Office Manager . This is a finance-led role, and they need someone who is confident with day-to-day bookkeeping — ideally with strong Xero experience — and happy to also take the reins on general office management.

To be clear: this is not an accountant role . You won’t be preparing tax returns or complex financial strategy — but you will be the backbone of the studio’s financial admin. Think raising and chasing invoices, reconciling accounts, logging expenses, managing project budgets, and working closely with external accountants to keep everything running smoothly.

Alongside the numbers, you’ll also make sure the office is running like clockwork. You’ll manage supplies, couriers, post, bookings, and be a welcoming face for clients and visitors — a role that suits someone who enjoys structure, variety, and being the one people can rely on.

What they’re looking for:

• 1+ year’s experience in bookkeeping, or a relevant qualification with solid hands-on experience
• Proficiency in Xero is essential — you’ll be the go-to person for day-to-day financial tasks
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office and Google Workspace
• Friendly, calm, and professional — with the confidence to keep things moving and the communication skills to match
• Someone who’s naturally organised, enjoys wearing a few hats, and likes being at the heart of a small team
