Senior Bookkeeper in Waltham Cross

Posted by eps.group services

£30,000 – £38,000 a year

Waltham Cross · Permanent

An independent practice on the Lee Valley side of Hertfordshire is looking for a Senior Bookkeeper to take ownership of its small business client work. The practice is under new leadership and investing in its systems and its culture. It is a close-knit team with direct access to the directors, and the seat suits someone who wants real responsibility rather than a seat on a production line.

You will run the bookkeeping and VAT for your own portfolio of owner-managed clients, taking records from source documents through to review-ready figures. You will be the day-to-day voice for those clients, help move them onto cloud software, and support the more junior members of the team.

What you'll be doing
  • Bank and control account reconciliations, trial balances and review-ready figures for your own clients
  • Preparing and submitting MTD VAT returns
  • Handling client queries day to day and keeping them on track
  • Moving clients onto cloud bookkeeping software and supporting the transition
  • CIS, quarterly updates under MTD for Income Tax, and payroll support (RTI, auto-enrolment)
  • Helping juniors develop and checking their work
What you'll bring
  • At least four years' bookkeeping experience, ideally in practice
  • Solid MTD VAT experience and confident use of Sage and Xero
  • Good Excel
  • Helpful but not essential: AAT Level 3/4 or ICB, Dext or AutoEntry, CIS and payroll exposure (full training on MTD for Income Tax, CIS and payroll is provided)
What's on offer
  • £30,000 – £38,000 depending on experience
  • Permanent, full-time, Monday to Friday, mostly office-based with hybrid negotiable
  • Study support, holiday that rises with service, and a pension
  • A friendly team and a practice that is investing for the long term
