About the firm

A well established independent firm of Chartered Accountants in Ashford, with more than thirty years behind them and a strong reputation across Kent.

They are big enough to do proper work and small enough that you won't get lost in it. The client base is varied, covering owner-managed businesses, construction, farming, healthcare, property and charities, so the bookkeeping work has real variety in it rather than the same job on repeat.

The role

You'd look after your own portfolio of clients, handling their bookkeeping end to end and being the person they speak to when they have a question.

Bookkeeping for a portfolio of clients on Sage and Xero
VAT returns, start to finish
CIS returns and compliance
Incomplete records through to trial balance
Supporting the accounts team at year end
Talking to clients directly about records, queries and deadlines
Occasional onsite work with clients

Who this will suit

An experienced bookkeeper, practice background ideal but not essential
AAT qualified, part qualified, or qualified by experience
Comfortable working to trial balance from incomplete records
Good VAT knowledge, CIS a bonus
Sage and Xero experience, or the ability to pick software up quickly
Someone who likes client contact and would rather sort a query than email about it

What's on offer

£28,000 to £32,000 full-time equivalent
Full-time or part-time, they are genuinely open on hours
A varied portfolio, not repetitive processing
A stable independent firm rather than a group in the middle of a merger
Support with study if you want to keep going
