Do you have a keen eye for detail, a love for numbers, and a passion for helping a fast-growing business thrive? If so, I want to hear from you!

I'm recruiting for a bold and innovative company on a mission to transform the pet food industry. As they continue to scale, they need an experienced Bookkeeper who can take full ownership of their financial processes and help them stay on top of their game.

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept:

You’ll report directly to the Financial Controller and be the heart of our internal bookkeeping operations. From managing payroll to reconciling bank accounts, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring they're financially fit and ready to take on the world. You’ll be integral to transitioning the bookkeeping from external partners to an in-house operation, and your attention to detail will keep them in tip-top shape as they grow.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Handling Accounts Payable: Keep supplier payments running smoothly and on time – because who wants late fees?
• Bank Reconciliations: Keep track of everything from PayPal to NatWest to Soldo – daily/weekly, we’ve got to stay on top of it all.
• Payroll Precision: Process weekly payroll and monthly salaries using Xero. Accuracy is key – they don’t want any employee to miss their pay!
• Tax & VAT: Get hands-on with quarterly VAT returns. Bonus points if you’ve got knowledge of customs and duties.
• Expenses: Manage company expenses with our super-easy Soldo software – because budgeting doesn’t have to be hard!
• Liaising with HMRC & External Accountants: Handle those external communications when needed – you’re the go-to expert in-house.
• Supporting Financial Reporting: Help the Financial Controller with reporting, data analysis, and improvement initiatives.

What They're Looking For:

• Experience: You’ve worked in bookkeeping or as an Accounts Assistant, and you’re confident with payroll processing.
• Tech Savvy: You’re comfortable with Xero and Excel, and you’re always looking for ways to improve efficiency.
• Detail-Oriented: You catch the small stuff and won’t let anything slip through the cracks.
• Self-Starter: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can work independently while still being a key team player.
• Growth-Minded: You love learning, adapting, and improving things as they grow (and grow fast!).

What’s In It For You?

• Healthcare: Top-tier health cover!
• Learning & Development: £250 annual budget for courses or books.
• Wellbeing: £100 annual wellbeing budget because your health matters.
• Work-Life Balance: Up to 2 weeks of working abroad per year. Get your work done, but why not do it from somewhere fun?
• Perks: Free lunch & learns, casual dress, volunteer days and exclusive product discounts for you and your friends/family.
• Team Fun: From axe throwing to crazy golf, they know how to let off some steam and bond as a team.

If you’re looking for a role where your impact will be felt, where you’ll help drive a business forward, and where you’ll have a blast along the way, I'd love to hear from you!
