Senior Bookkeeper | Aylesbury | £28,000 – £35,000 DOE | Full Time | Permanent 

The opportunity This is a Senior Bookkeeper position for someone who wants more than routine processing. You’ll be the person who keeps standards high across a portfolio, ensures files are genuinely accounts-ready, and supports the wider team with quality control and structure.

You’ll join a well-established, cloud-led accountancy practice with a professional, collaborative culture. The expectation is simple: accurate double entry, strong balance sheet control, confident VAT delivery, and clear client communication. In return, you’ll get real ownership, variety across clients, and a role that can grow into a bookkeeping lead position over time.

You’ll take responsibility for a portfolio of clients and act as the go-to for bookkeeping quality and delivery. You’ll also review work completed by juniors and support their development, ensuring consistency across files and deadlines.

Key responsibilities
  • Owning bookkeeping for a portfolio of clients using cloud accounting software
  • Ensuring accurate double entry, reconciliations, and clean ledgers to trial balance
  • Preparing and reviewing VAT returns, including checks, corrections, and query resolution
  • Maintaining strong balance sheet reconciliations and control accounts (VAT, debtors, creditors, payroll where applicable)
  • Reviewing junior bookkeeping work, providing feedback, and ensuring files are accounts-ready
  • Being a key point of contact for clients: records, queries, deadlines, and process improvements
  • Liaising with HMRC where required and supporting registrations/compliance administration
  • Identifying recurring issues and improving client bookkeeping processes to reduce errors and rework
  • Supporting the accounts team with clean handovers and supporting schedules
What we’re looking for
  • Strong practice-based or multi-client bookkeeping experience
  • Confident producing accurate records through to trial balance and maintaining balance sheet integrity
  • Solid VAT knowledge and the confidence to sense-check and correct
  • Strong understanding of double entry and reconciliations
  • Comfortable reviewing others’ work and raising standards
  • Professional client communication skills and a calm, organised approach to deadlines
Desirable:
  • Management accounts exposure
  • Payroll journals/pensions experience
  • Experience across multiple cloud platforms and process improvement
