UK based bookkeeper

I run an accounting firm in Richmond, SW London.

I am looking for a bookkeeper to work on clients bookkeeping and VAT.  

You will need: 

- a high level of attention to detail

- comfortable working with Excel 

- comfortable speaking to clients and the phone, via Skype and via email 

- be able to professionally represent my business 

- understanding of and previous experience using Xero is advantageous

- good at working independently 

You will be given a company email address and allocated a portfolio of clients to work on. 

One day a month you will be required to visit client premises based near Heathrow. The timings are a 9:30am start and you will usually finish there any time between 2:30pm and 4pm. Whilst there you will do general bookkeeping using Quickbooks, input stock, reconciliations for debt factoring company reporting. 

All client work will need to be taken to TB level in preparation of annual accounts and many clients receive monthly management accounts which you will be responsible for preparing. 

We have a firm wide call every 2 weeks at 9:30am which you would need to be on. 

I expect your month to be front loaded so the majority of hours coming before 15th of the month (which is the date that most clients want management accounts deliver by).

Average weekly hours are expected to be around 10 hours a week.
