• Sales and purchase ledger
• Credit control and cash flow management
• Bank reconciliations
• Payroll coordination
• VAT and HMRC submissions
• Monthly management reporting
• Preparing information for the external accountants

What we're looking for

You'll probably already be working as a Bookkeeper, Finance Officer or Finance Manager within an SME and enjoy the variety that comes with being the finance expert.

You'll be someone who:

• Likes taking ownership rather than waiting for instruction.
• Enjoys building relationships across the business.
• Has solid bookkeeping experience and understands VAT and payroll.
• Takes pride in getting the detail right.
• Wants flexibility without compromising on responsibility.

Why join?

• Flexible hours around your life.

• A business where your opinion matters.
• Plenty of autonomy with support when you need it.
• The opportunity to become a key part of a growing agency.

No two clients are the same, which means no two days need to feel the same either.

WHY THIS PRACTICE?

Having worked with this practice on many occasions, I can confidently say this is a place I would love to work myself.

They are an established and highly regarded accountancy practice with a strong local presence, long-standing client relationships and a team that genuinely cares about its people.

This is a practice that invests in its staff, values the contribution people make and wants to create long-term careers — not simply fill vacancies.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

• Processing weekly and monthly client payrolls
• Managing starters, leavers and payroll changes
• Supporting with statutory payments and pension requirements
• Completing bookkeeping for a varied portfolio of clients
• Carrying out bank and account reconciliations
• Preparing and submitting VAT returns
• Working with cloud accounting and payroll software
• Speaking directly with clients and answering queries
• Managing deadlines across multiple clients
• Supporting the wider accounts team when required

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You will have previous payroll and/or bookkeeping experience, strong attention to detail and the confidence to manage multiple deadlines.

Experience within an accountancy practice would be highly beneficial, particularly if you have worked across a portfolio of different clients.

Most importantly, you will enjoy variety, client contact and being part of a team.

WHY MAKE THE MOVE?

Because your next role should offer more than a list of tasks.

If you are looking for a position where you can use your experience, continue learning, build genuine client relationships and become part of a practice where you can see yourself staying for the long term, this could be a brilliant next move.

You do not need to be actively looking for a new role.

Sometimes the right opportunity is simply worth a conversation.

This is an opportunity to step into a Senior Accountant role where you can take real ownership of your work, build trusted relationships with your own portfolio of clients and become an important part of the wider team.

Apply today or contact Katie Shutt at Think Accountancy and Finance for a private and confidential chat.
