Bookkeeper / Accounts Technician

Overview

£35,000 – £38,000 + Hybrid + Medical Insurance + Benefits

Are you an experienced Bookkeeper with a background in multi-client work who\’s looking for a stable, long-term role in a professional, well-established practice? If you\’d value a calm, supportive office environment (rather than a frantic start-up culture), this could be the opportunity for you. Joining a mature accountancy practice of around 5-6 staff, you\’ll report to the Accounts Manager and play a key role in supporting a broad mix of clients, from sole traders to partnerships and limited companies. Day-to-day, you\’ll take ownership of bookkeeping tasks through to trial balance and provide valuable financial insight to clients and the wider team.

Key Responsibilities

• Bookkeeping using client or in-house software, including VAT returns and quarterly management accounts
• Year-end preparation: balance sheet reconciliations, trial balance, financial statements
• Cashflow reporting and ad hoc financial analysis
• Preparing management accounts and recommending ways to improve performance
• Clerical support for Companies House submissions

Skills & Experience

• To succeed, you\’ll need prior experience managing multiple client accounts in either practice, bureau or bookkeeping agency settings. You will also bring:
• Solid bookkeeping skills
• Knowledge of the different bookkeeping packages and year end accounts production up to trial balance for several people is essential, with previous practice experience a definite bonus
• At least 3 years\’ relevant bookkeeping experience
• VAT knowledge essential
• IRIS experience would be advantageous, but not essential

Full-time hours are available, although part-time applications are preferred, with a minimum of around 20 hours per week; the typical sweet spot is 22-25 hours and a school-hours model is possible.

Following probation, hybrid working is offered (though the role is not fully remote due to paperwork flow). Free on-site parking is available although the office is within walking distance of North Camp station.

This is a rare opportunity to join a supportive, long-established team where people stay. With busy season approaching, the firm is keen to move quickly. If you\’re an experienced Bookkeeper looking for stability, flexibility and the chance to add value to clients, we\’d love to hear from you. Apply now!
