In return, you’ll get real ownership, variety across clients, and a role that can grow into a bookkeeping lead position over time.

You’ll also review work completed by juniors and support their development, ensuring consistency across files and deadlines. Key responsibilities

  • Ensuring accurate double entry, reconciliations, and clean ledgers to trial balance
  • Preparing and reviewing VAT returns, including checks, corrections, and query resolution
