You will take responsibility for the day to day bookkeeping and accounts requirements of an established portfolio of clients, acting as a key point of contact between clients and the firm.

  • Managing deadlines and following up on outstanding documentation
  • Providing a professional and responsive service to clients
  • Attending occasional client meetings and site visits
  • Working with Sage and other accounting/practice management systems

  • A confident, professional and personable communication style
  • Experience dealing directly with clients or business owners
