Bookkeeper – Be Part of an Independent Practice That Values You
Are you a bookkeeper with solid practice experience looking for more than just a routine role? Do you want to be part of a team where your expertise is appreciated, your ideas are heard, and you can see the real impact of your work?
We’re partnering with a well-established independent practice, around for over 35 years, with a 23-strong team and a diverse client base of 1,200–1,400 businesses. They’re proud to remain independent in a market increasingly dominated by large corporate firms, offering personal service and real ownership over the work you do.
Why this role stands out:
-
Variety & Challenge: Manage a portfolio of clients across industries, handling full bookkeeping, from sales and purchase ledgers, reconciliations, journals, and VAT returns, to CIS and management information. No two days are the same.
-
Team & Culture: The firm is committed to a collaborative, supportive environment. Your contribution will be valued, and you’ll work closely with senior accountants and managers in a team where opinions matter.
-
Flexibility That Works: Fully office-based role, flexible start between 8:00–9:30, 37.5-hour week, and every second Friday afternoon off.
Who we’re looking for:
-
Bookkeepers from practice backgrounds not industry, someone who is comfortable managing multiple responsibilities across a diverse client base.
-
Professionals with a “can-do” attitude, strong time management, and excellent communication skills.
-
Team players who are eager to learn, grow, and build a long-term career in an independent practice.
The role includes:
-
Full bookkeeping for a portfolio of client businesses, including postings, reconciliations, journal entries, and reporting
-
Preparation and submission of VAT returns, and understanding of CIS
-
Liaising directly with clients and third parties, including HMRC, suppliers, and customers
-
Producing management information to support senior accountants
-
Contributing to a collaborative team environment, sharing knowledge, and supporting colleagues
