NXTGEN is pleased to be working with a well-established and down-to-earth accountancy firm in Colchester to recruit a Bookkeeper for their growing team. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with a background in Bookkeeping who enjoys variety, values flexibility, and wants to be part of a genuinely supportive environment where both employees and clients are at the heart of what they do.
The firm provides high quality Bookkeeping, Accounts, Tax, and Payroll services to a loyal client base, and thanks to continued organic growth and new client wins, they're now looking to expand their Bookkeeping team. They're proud of the culture they've built, one where people enjoy coming to work, feel valued, and are given the autonomy to take ownership of their work and the clients they support.
This is a firm that truly values work-life balance, a place where you can come in, do a great job, and confidently leave work at the door at the end of the day. You'll be joining a non-corporate, down to earth environment where you can make a real impact, enjoy genuine flexibility, and develop your career at your own pace. As Bookkeeper, you'll take ownership of a varied portfolio of clients across a range of industries, managing day-to-day Bookkeeping responsibilities while building strong, lasting relationships.
Key Responsibilities:
- Preparing and maintaining accurate financial records
- Reconciling bank accounts and processing transactions
- Preparing and submitting VAT returns
- Liaising with clients to resolve queries and offer support
- Supporting with management accounts where required
- Working closely with the wider team to ensure deadlines are met
What's on offer:
- 35-hour week
- Hybrid and flexible working options
- Full autonomy in your role
- A firm that values you and your work
- The opportunity to progress and take on more responsibility if desired
What they're looking for:
- Previous experience in a similar Bookkeeping or accounts role within practice
- Confident working with cloud accounting software (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks, Sage)
- A proactive and organised approach with great attention to detail
- Strong communication skills and a client-focused attitude
If you're a Bookkeeper who wants to do a great job, be valued for it, and still leave work at the door each day, this could be the perfect role for you.
