Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes | £35,000 - £40,000 | Hybrid working | Flexitime
Are you the person who can look at an unreconciled balance sheet, stay calm and work out exactly what has happened? My client is a growing, forward-thinking accountancy practice looking to appoint two experienced Senior Bookkeepers. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a varied client portfolio, work directly with business owners and play a genuinely important role within the firm's bookkeeping team.
You will be trusted to manage your own workload and client relationships while also sharing your knowledge with less experienced colleagues. It is a proper senior bookkeeping position, offering responsibility, variety and progression rather than simply processing transactions all day.
The Role
You will manage the day-to-day bookkeeping requirements for a portfolio of clients, ensuring their financial records remain accurate, complete and up to date. Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing the bookkeeping requirements of a varied client portfolio
- Processing journals and maintaining records through to trial balance
- Preparing and reviewing VAT returns
- Completing bank and balance sheet reconciliations
- Reconciling VAT, credit cards, receivables, payables, payroll, CIS, intercompany balances and loans
- Processing supplier bills, employee expenses and payments
- Undertaking credit control
- Supporting the preparation of year-end accounts
- Responding to client queries and providing practical bookkeeping support
- Building strong, long-term relationships with clients
- Helping clients make effective use of Xero and other cloud-accounting systems
- Facilitating and troubleshooting software integrations
- Supporting and developing junior members of the bookkeeping team
- Managing competing assignments and ensuring deadlines are met
About You

- Previous experience working within a UK accountancy practice
