Job description

I'm working with a multi-award-winning interior design and home staging business based in Twickenham, known for its premium brand, fast growth, and creative culture. Following sustained success (featured in The Times , Channel 4's Selling Super Homes , and a long list of design awards), they're now hiring a Senior Bookkeeper to support their Head of Finance and help elevate the finance function.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with 5-8 years' experience in a finance role who's ready for a step up - someone detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and excited to be part of a design-led, entrepreneurial environment.

What you'll be doing:

• Preparing monthly management accounts and draft year-end accounts
• Overseeing day-to-day finance operations across AP/AR, VAT, and credit control
• Monitoring cashflow and supporting with supplier payments and reconciliations
• Working closely with the Head of Finance, as well as liaising with HMRC and external partners
• Managing Xero and related financial apps with a keen eye for process improvement
• Supporting project-based finance tracking and internal reporting

What they're looking for:

• 5-8 years' experience in a bookkeeping or finance support role
• AAT Level 3/4 or equivalent bookkeeping qualification
• Strong Xero experience (essential)
• Familiarity with AP/AR, VAT returns, cashflow management, and reconciliations
• Great attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and a positive outlook
• Ideally, some exposure to project-based businesses (e.g., design, property, construction)

Why apply?

• Join a growing, design-led company with a fun, relaxed working culture
• Award-winning brand with major press coverage and a premium reputation
• 25 days holiday + strong development opportunities
• 'Dress for your day' policy and a bright, open-plan office in Twickenham
