Qualified Bookkeeper / Accounts Assistant for Chartered Accountancy Practice
Salary: Commensurate with experience and level of training/qualification
Full-Time Hours: 9am to 5.30pm (UK Time) Monday to Friday (40 hours per week). Alternatively, part-time hours (30 hours per week) can be considered to suit the applicant.
About Us
Our Client is a small but growing firm of Chartered Accountants (ICAEW), Tax & Business Advisors that focus on providing full services to a varied portfolio of owner-managed businesses. Clients range in size up to a turnover of 5m. Whilst we offer everything you would expect from a firm of Chartered Accountants, but we're a bit different to a lot of typical 'high street' firms.
We have grown the practice by becoming key partners with our clients - specializing in providing a fully outsourced financial and accounting solution - saving businesses the costs and hassle of running a finance department whilst being able to trust everything is being handled independently and correctly.
We provide regular consultancy and business advisory services based upon solid financial information prepared by us, whilst trying to inject a bit of personality along the way to keep our clients interested and focused.
We have clients in different sectors, including retail, ecommerce, app development, fintech, plant hire, construction, medical, professional services and more. We're an authorized training employer with the ICAEW.
The Role
You will be responsible for all aspects of bookkeeping for clients to a high-level, including bank reconciliations, preparation of VAT returns, payroll reconciliations, posting journals etc.
You will need to obtain information from different sources, and process the accounting information correctly, such as with banks, merchant services (e.g. PayPal, Stripe), online marketplaces (e.g. Amazon, eBay), invoice finance and factoring providers etc.
You will be client-facing and contact clients directly via email and telephone, whilst also having occasional face-to-face meetings and may attend the occasional client at their premises (although, these days, that is more infrequent!).
You will need to monitor client deadlines, and manage processes, to ensure that deadlines are met.
