Job Type: Full Time

Location: Remote

About the Role:

We’re looking for a highly organised, self starting bookkeeper who doesn’t need to be told what to do, someone who takes initiative, spots what’s missing and makes sure key deliverables get over the line.

This isn’t a role for someone who just wants to process transactions and move on, we need someone who naturally brings structure, follows up without being asked and keeps clients on track when queries need to be resolved.

You’ll have exposure to a wide range of tasks including payroll and personal tax returns, so experience in these areas is a big plus.

What you’ll be doing:

• Handling client bookkeeping across platforms like Xero and QuickBooks
• Running payrolls accurately and on time, including pension submissions
• Supporting the preparation of personal tax returns
• Chasing missing documents or responses from clients and accountants

What we’re looking for:

• Someone who takes ownership without needing hand-holding
• Strong communication skills — written and spoken
• A solid understanding of UK payroll and personal tax rules
• Confident juggling multiple tasks and prioritising efficiently
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and always thinking a step ahead

We’re a startup, we move fast, we stay flexible and we value people who thrive in that kind of environment, ideally, you’ve worked in a smaller practice or a startup before and know what it means to stay sharp when things are moving.

Please note this is a fully remote role on a freelance contract.
