Job description

Part-Time Bookkeeper - School hours

Love tidy books, balanced accounts and making every penny add up? Join a friendly, growing Hertford business in a flexible, office-based role that fits brilliantly around school hours (ideally 20-25 hours, 5 days per week).

We need a confident, hands-on bookkeeper who can hit the ground running and keep our day-to-day finances in brilliant shape. You'll own the detail, keep deadlines moving and make sure the numbers are always clear, accurate and ready to go. If Xero and Excel are your happy place-and you want a role with flexibility now and room to grow-this could be the perfect fit.

What you'll be doing:

Keep financial records and ledgers accurate and up to date
Process sales and purchase invoices and manage accounts payable and receivable
Reconcile bank statements and credit card accounts
Prepare and submit VAT returns in line with HMRC requirements
Support month-end and year-end accounts preparation
Maintain petty cash records and liaise with external accountants and HMRC when required
Help ensure compliance with UK accounting and tax regulations

You'll be a great match if you bring:

Proven bookkeeping experience, ideally in a similar hands-on role
Good knowledge of UK bookkeeping and VAT requirements
Experience with Xero and strong Microsoft Excel skills
Excellent numerical ability, accuracy and attention to detail
Strong organisation and time management, with the confidence to work independently
A trustworthy, discreet and clear approach to communication
Prepare management accounts, or maintain the books through to management-account stage would be advantageous but not essential as full training will be given

Ideally you will have:

A relevant bookkeeping or accounting qualification

Why you'll love it here:

Genuinely school-hours-friendly flexibility
A warm, supportive team that values what you do
Real ownership and the freedom to make the role your own
Plenty of scope to increase your hours and grow into a full-time position

We receive a high volume of applications and may not be able to respond to everyone individually.
