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.
