Practice Bookkeeper

£28k - £32k per annum
Full-time
Practice Bookkeeper | London (Hybrid) | £28,000 – £32,000 | Permanent, Full-Time

A genuine step forward for a bookkeeper or accounts apprentice who's ready to move from the day-to-day numbers into full accounts production, with a firm that will back you.

We're recruiting a Practice Bookkeeper for a well-established, forward-thinking accountancy practice in London. You'll sit at the heart of the accounts team, building on your bookkeeping foundations as you take on year-end accounts, VAT returns and partnership tax returns for a varied mix of clients. Those include sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. You'll also start to oversee work passed to outsource providers.

It's a friendly, down-to-earth firm with a culture of looking after its people and the communities it works in. If you've been waiting for a role where you're trusted with more and have room to grow, this is it.

What you'll be doing
  • Running client bookkeeping and management accounting across Xero, Sage and QuickBooks
  • Producing accounts and preparing VAT returns for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
  • Maintaining sales, purchase and nominal ledgers, processing journals and finalising accounts
  • Preparing partnership tax returns
  • Overseeing work passed to outsource providers
  • Keeping data accurate and your jobs on track against deadlines
What you'll bring
  • Bookkeeping or accounts experience in a practice environment, whether you're an experienced bookkeeper or an apprentice ready for the next step
  • AAT Level 4, part-qualified ACA or ACCA (no need to carry on studying), or qualified by experience
  • Confident IT skills and good attention to detail
  • Initiative, flexibility, and the ability to prioritise under pressure
  • The right to work in the UK
What's on offer

£28,000 – £32,000 depending on experience, with hybrid working, Monday to Friday. You'll also get an annual bonus, a company pension, life cover, income protection, generous holiday and a flexible benefits package.
