The Role

You'll be taking ownership of a portfolio of bookkeeping clients, keeping monthly and quarterly records in order, preparing VAT returns, and ensuring clients' financial records are accurate and up to date. You'll work closely with the wider team, attending regular one-to-ones and team meetings, and following our well-established practice procedures.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Monthly and quarterly bookkeeping for a varied client portfolio
