Explore and Apply for Bookkeeper jobs in Southampton, United Kingdom

This well‑established and highly reputable organisation, based in Central Southampton, is looking to appoint a Bookkeeper to join its close‑knit finance team. The business operates across two complementary entities—leasing and maintenance—and offers a supportive, friendly working environment where finance is valued and well-structured.
This is a fully office‑based role, ideal for someone who enjoys being part of a small, collaborative team. Benefits include free on‑site parking and a competitive salary.

This is a hands‑on, end‑to‑end bookkeeping role, offering variety and exposure rather than a narrow transactional remit. Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, you will play a key role in the day‑to‑day running of the finance function, supporting both entities across a broad and varied workload.

Key responsibilities include:

• Bank and account reconciliations
• Purchase ledger management and creditor control
• General financial reporting and reconciliations
• CIS allocation and reverse-charge processing
• Supporting VAT processes
• Running a small payroll
• Ad‑hoc finance support as required

To be successful in this role, you will:

• Have previous experience in a similar bookkeeping position
• Have exposure to payroll
• Be organised, detail‑focused and able to prioritise effectively.
• Be confident, proactive and comfortable working independently.
• Have strong IT skills and clear communication
• Experience using Xero would be advantageous, but not essential.

• Competitive salary
• Free on‑site parking
• A varied and interesting role
• Supportive Financial Controller and friendly team environment
• Long‑term stability within a successful business
