As Bookkeeper, you will take responsibility for managing the day to day bookkeeping needs of a portfolio of clients. You will work closely with the wider accounts team to ensure accurate records are maintained and clients receive a responsive, high quality service.

Experience using Xero is important, with Sage experience beneficial although full training will be provided. Experience managing a portfolio of clients would be advantageous, along with strong communication skills and a proactive, organised approach to work.
