About this job

Bookkeeper Permanent & Full Time Swansea £30-35K Recruiting for a fantastic small Swansea Group with a presence in the IT industry.

Your role will see you performing as a one-person finance team; as such, you will need to be very experienced in the double-entry bookkeeping process and procedure, with exposure to compiling sets of accounts as well as taking accounts to trial balance.

The group uses an external accountant and needs an experienced bookkeeper to handle ledgers, expenses (perhaps a bit of Payroll administration, although that is outsourced) and all things finance prior to handing over to the practice.

As their standalone bookkeeper and administrator, you would have a broad brief

• which would include some financial statements, a little bit of statutory accounting, tax submissions (VAT returns), and the core bookkeeping tasks such as bank reconciliations and working with the fixed asset register, all using Xero.

Ideally, qualified by experience (although AAT study would be a bonus), you could come from an industry or practice background.

You will need to be independent, organised, have superb administration and time management skills as well as exemplary attention to detail This role is 100% office-based, and full-time but without suffering from a long-hours culture annual leave is 25 days plus bank holidays (so enhanced; not just statutory). It's a fantastic company with a good collaborative office culture.
