What you’ll be doing
*Managing client bookkeeping using Xero as the primary system
*Assisting with the preparation of year-end and management accounts
*Liaising regularly and directly with clients on their bookkeeping and accounts queries
*Building strong working relationships with a varied portfolio of clients
*Supporting the wider team with day-to-day accounts tasks as they arise
*Developing your technical knowledge with the backing of structured study support
What we’re looking for
*Some experience in bookkeeping or accounts within a practice environment (AAT studier or equivalent experience welcomed)
*Strong working knowledge of Xero
*Comfortable communicating directly with clients, confident and personable
*A genuine desire to progress - keen to study towards a professional qualification
