- Good knowledge of UK bookkeeping and VAT requirements
- Experience with Xero and strong Microsoft Excel skills
- Excellent numerical ability, accuracy and attention to detail
- Strong organisation and time management, with the confidence to work independently
- A trustworthy, discreet and clear approach to communication
- Prepare management accounts, or maintain the books through to management-account stage would be advantageous but not essential as full training will be given
Ideally you will have:
- A relevant bookkeeping or accounting qualification
Why you'll love it here:
