Job description

Bookkeeper Bury | Full time | Hybrid (office, home and client sites)

A growing accountancy practice in Bury is looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to join its team. The firm provides outsourced bookkeeping and management accounting to businesses across the Northwest, and this role has come about off the back of genuine growth rather than a replacement hire.

It's a varied role with your own portfolio of clients, so no two days look quite the same. You'll build proper relationships with the businesses you look after and become a trusted part of their finance function, with the independence to run your own workload and a supportive team behind you when you need it.

What's on offer

• Competitive Salary £28K-£32K DOE
• Study Support - CIMA
• Flexible working - mixture of on-stie, hybrid and client visits
• Modern working environment, various social events and a practice fastly growing!
• Fun, friendly and supportive culture.

The role

Day to day bookkeeping and financial administration across your client portfolio, including:

• Purchase and sales ledger
• Raising and processing invoices, sales and purchase orders
• Bank reconciliations
• Preparing VAT returns and working to HMRC deadlines
• Working across multiple currencies, bank accounts and departments
• Maintaining accurate financial records and files
• Producing accounts to trial balance stage where required
• CIS work where applicable

You'll work across Sage and Xero, so experience of both would be an advantage.

The profile

• AAT qualified
• At least 3 years' experience in a similar bookkeeping role
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Confident working independently and on client sites
• A good eye for detail and pride in accurate work
• Able to manage your own workload and hit deadlines

Just as importantly, they're after someone friendly, professional and reliable who enjoys being part of a team.

If you want variety in your week, exposure to a range of businesses and a practice that's genuinely going places, this one's worth a look.
