We are representing a confidential client looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to join their team on a permanent, part-time basis.

This opportunity requires someone with recent bookkeeping experience gained within a UK accountancy practice. You must be confident managing bookkeeping for multiple clients and using Xero regularly.

• Using Xero confidently on a daily basis

Essential Experience

• Recent bookkeeping experience within a UK accountancy practice
• Experience working across multiple client accounts
• Confident, hands-on experience using Xero
• Strong understanding of purchase ledger, sales ledger and reconciliations
• Ability to prepare accurate bookkeeping records up to trial balance
• Ability to work independently and manage competing deadlines
• Strong attention to detail and communication skills
• Competent Microsoft Excel skills

An AAT qualification or current AAT studies would be beneficial but are not essential where relevant experience can be demonstrated.

• Flexibility around the working pattern
