Job Description

We are looking for a semi-senior accountant who enjoys using Xero to join our team. This role will be ideal for someone recently qualified or close to qualification (ACCA or similar).

The primary objective of this role will be to ensure that as we take on new clients, their bookkeeping system is set up correctly on Xero and, where necessary, brought up to date. You will then be responsible for handling any bookkeeping until it can be delegated to a junior team member.

You will be expected to problem-solve and will be responsible for managing a small portfolio of clients and will be their direct point of contact for questions and queries.

On top of this, you will be responsible for supervising and mentoring two junior team members, providing support and guidance for them in relation to bookkeeping and VAT related tasks.

Secondary duties will include, accounts/CT600 preparation, VAT returns, payroll, etc.

Where there is drive/desire by the candidate, this role will have the capacity to develop along with the business as it continues to grow and expand.
