Bookkeeper Part-time

A firm of Accountants based in Gosforth who provide bookkeeping and accountancy services for small to medium sized businesses are looking to appoint a Part-time Bookkeeper to support the Director with the increased volume of their work.

Based at their Gosforth offices with easy public transport access as well as free parking my client is seeking to find an experienced Bookkeeper preferably familiar with the use of Xero, although a similar cloud system such as Sage or Quickbooks is equally suitable.

Offering a very flexible work pattern to suit,  either 2/3 full days or 4/5 shorter days it is rare to find such great freedom to design your own work pattern and is likely to appeal for that reason. Whilst based in the office, there is scope in the future once settled to work from home at least one day each week.

Your role will be varied and see your involvement in the following:

• Weekly and monthly bookkeeping using Xero
• Monthly VAT returns
• Invoice allocation
• Bank Reconciliations
• Processing expenses
• Self-assessment tax returns (training can be provided for this)
• Payroll for a small number of monthly payrolls.

There is scope to get involved in the set up of systems and procedures within the firm to ensure best practices are in place for all aspects.

We are seeking a competent Bookkeeper with previous experience either working in practice or for a small to medium sized business with an appreciation of their demands.
