Your new role

In these newly created bookkeeper jobs, you will be responsible for working with a variety of businesses in the preparation of bookkeeping across all the ledgers to trial balance through to submission of VAT returns and the production of management accounts to be reviewed by a senior accountant of the firm. Any experience working for a firm of chartered accountants is preferred, but this is not essential. However, you must have experience of bookkeeping and be able to support a range of businesses.

What you'll need to succeed

As explained, the firm is looking to recruit 2 bookkeepers and will consider candidates who are looking to step up into a bookkeeper role as you may be studying AAT and have an understanding of trial balance, as well as more experienced bookkeepers / assistant management accountants who are keen to work with a firm of chartered accountants.

Ideally, you will have experience of account preparation with a firm of chartered accountants. However, we are also keen to hear from candidates who have the relevant bookkeeping skills for commercial business but are looking to move into practice.

What you'll get in return

The organisation offers an excellent overall benefits package with salaries for these two roles ranging from £23,000 - £30,000 depending on experience, as well as paid holidays, a 37.5 hour working week, (part-time hours will be considered) and flexible working.
