Job description

The Opportunity

A well-established independent firm of Chartered Accountants in Tarporley is looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to join its growing team.

This isn't a role where you'll spend every day processing the same type of client. You'll manage the bookkeeping for a genuinely varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses, ranging from trades and hauliers through to farmers, consultants and other SMEs.

The firm is looking for someone who can take ownership of their work, build relationships with clients and, most importantly, get the numbers right rather than simply getting the job done.

The Role:

• Maintaining accurate accounting records
• Bank and control account reconciliations
• Processing purchase and sales transactions
• Supporting clients with their bookkeeping queries
• Managing bookkeeping across businesses with very different requirements
• Working predominantly with Xero
• Using other platforms including QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent where required
• Working directly with clients to obtain information and resolve queries
• Ensuring records are accurate and up to date
• Working independently while having support from the wider team when required

Xero will be the main platform used day-to-day, although experience with other cloud accounting packages would be useful.

The Candidate:

• Previous bookkeeping experience within accountancy practice or a multi-client environment
• Strong knowledge of Xero
• Experience with QuickBooks, Sage or FreeAgent would be advantageous
• Excellent attention to detail
• The ability to manage your own workload
• Confidence dealing directly with clients
• A practical and organised approach
• The ability to adapt between different clients and industries

What's On Offer:

• Flexible working environment
• Varied owner-managed business portfolio
• Significant client contact
• Exposure to businesses across numerous sectors
• Supportive and experienced team
• Long-term career stability
• Opportunity to join an independent firm where your contribution is noticed
